Bear in the House - JudyB - 10-11-2022
Warning to the Bar-K: We had a bear break in to our house on Crockett Trail in the Bar-K early this morning (maybe 2 a.m.). We think it was in the house two different times and Judy saw it one of those. It tore the screen door apart and opened the front door. The refrigerator was opened with food scattered about and food was scattered from the pantries. We are not aware of anything we did to encourage the bear, it seems random that it broke in.

Mark and Judy ~
Thank you for posting your Bear encounter and sorry if you sustained damage to your home.
Most likely this is an experienced Bear that broke into your home (not personal) and there is a very good chance the Bear will return
and continue it's search for food. Neighbors take heed! Our Bears are eating non-stop until they hibernate in Nov-Dec.

Bleach can be used as a deterrent in various ways at entry points. Might consider leaving a light or two on.
If your pup or kitty is acting strange or agitated, could be a warning sign. If you do have a close encounter
show Mr Bear they are not welcome and chase it away.
Thanks again for your posting! It is very helpful
