    Idaho Fish and Game has issued the following warning:
    Rural Homeowners, campers and hikers should be aware of increased bear activity as the Winter Season approaches. Persons in wilderness areas should use caution and be knowledgeable of bear activity in their immediate surroundings.
    When in rural areas, people walking should wear small bells to warn bears that you are approaching and carry pepper spray in the event you encounter a bear.
    You should also be on the lookout for bear scat as that may be an indication that a bear is in the area. The more common and less aggressive Black Bear scat contains twigs and the seeds of small berries. While the more aggressive Grizzly Bear scat may sometime contain small bells and smell of pepper.
    Hope this helps.

    Please remember,YOU are on the BEARS LAND. They were there first. Teach your children to be mindful of the bears & where not to play. The DNR can usually tell you where the bears are. Here we know when blueberries are in season we may be in competition for them with the bears. I literally walked into a large area of blueberries once with my 9 yr old son & after I was alerted to the presence of two bears because one of them growled at us, I told my young son to just keep walking to me, slowly. We then slowly walked away together. Technically it was my Dad’s land but the bear really had first Dibs on it. We both felt honored to see the bears.
    Where we live now we also have bears. The last one sighted was 8’ tall. We are surround by state land covered in pines & lots of critters. Bears & mountain lions too. We still feed the birds, turkeys & deer but that also means occasionally a bear might come by and bends steel pole to get the bird seed & hummingbird nectar or suet cakes. It’s a chance we take.
    We moved unto their land.

    Fellow Idahoan here. Ya it's very common to see a lot of bear activity this time of year especially in the rural backcountry. Just remember to have your garbage cans and anything else that attracts bears bear proofed so that you don't have anything attracting them there. If you give them a reason to return or stay they definitely will. They're just trying to pack on some fat for the winter.

    A little tip on one gallon paint cans: take a roofing nail and hammer it around the cans edge to create holes about every inch (in the groove where the lid fits into). This will dump the excess paint back into the can from mixing and swiping your brush on that upper lip of the can. And the beauty of this is the lid will still seal the can when done, and the can doesn't have a bunch of paint on the outside of the can when you are done painting

    Your video is so refreshing, heartening and makes me happy in a way I haven't felt since I was a child. Yes, I know it's a grizzly and it's ridiculously frightening, but it's a real problem with real people and real courage...unlike the manufactured problems of the outrage mob that I see on a daily basis. Wishing I were out there doing the same, but glad to be part of it vicariously, is nothing else! Wishing you and your family all the best!

    We lived in Moran Wyoming and grizzly and black bears were very common. Took my husband months but he finally convinced me they are more afraid of us then we are of them. Unless the bear has been habituated to human food or garbage is being stored in a container that is not bear proof they will avoid you. You should always be loud when approaching a known bear migration path. If they smelled our dogs they would turn and go another direction. Now a moose that's a different story especially with a calf.... had a mama moose break 4 of my ribs and she was 100 yards from me when we noticed her.

    My two cents: Having lived, hunted, hiked and camped in Grizzle Bear areas, including Idaho, I learned through talking with Forestry Service Park Rangers and US Fish and Wildlife personnel these bears have large ranges encompassing huge areas, often 500 to 1500 square miles. US Fish and Wildlife roughly estimates there are 70-100 Grizzlies in Northern Idaho with most being in remote areas not easily accessible. So with 20 acres it is not likely this bear would visit very often unless it found a reliable food source which they do not appear to have. Sure there are deer and sometimes elk, but there are deer and elk in a lot of the country up there so it is unlikely that is what brought the bear in. It looked to me on the video to be digging up roots and or looking for rodents which they do quite a bit. This being said they are right to stay vigilant and take precautions and I can certainly understand mom being concerned about the children. They live in an area with the chance of encountering Bears, Wolves, Mountain Lions and Coyotes. It’s just the nature of living where they do and I am sure they understand this.

      South Shore Survey ~ Download the free app Shazam and you can find out the artist and the name of the song, sometimes even the lyrics. You just let the app "listen" for a second or two and it can usually get everything. I use it all the time on their channel because they use great music in their videos.
