He does look pretty menacing. Three videos from two trail cams in the yard show that he's a pretty big fella.

This evening just before 6 p.m., my cousin spotted a bear cross our driveway and head through the forest toward our place. At 8:20, Mrs. Hummer and I spotted the bear in our little meadow about 40 ft. from us. It is a smaller, younger bear than the one on the cams from May 15. I expect it will be back overnight and I'll check the cams in the morning. Not good when bears come around during daylight hours. I'll need to keep the electric perimeter fence energized during the day now. In summer I keep a 12 gauge handy, loaded with 3 rounds of rubber buckshot and rubber ball, then 3 magnum slugs. I hope to haze this little one before it becomes a problem bear.
