It’s kinda surprising how enjoyable it is to watch something so anticipated as a marker for spring to be here.

Hawg Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Have any of you central Minnesota guys seen or heard of any bears at feeders yet? No sign of any around my feeders in Brainerd, in fact only one skunk and two raccoons so far which again is highly unusual for this time of year. Since I live in town I usually only get the Bears once or twice a year so I’ve kind of been waiting till the bear tears up my feeder before I put out the oriole stuff and do spring cleaning and fix up. That’s got to be getting pretty close too. Any bears? Edited April 25, 2022 by Hawg chaffmj and leech~~ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any yet, but others up here have. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
