You should talk to some of your new neighbours to see whether that's a common occurance. I don't think that bears typically attack humans unless they feel threatened or there's something wrong with them. You should probably notify the local authorities anyway, just to let them know that there's a bear in the vicinity so that they can check it out and make sure that everyone stays safe.

I remember, several years ago, when my cousin lived in B.C. just 10 minutes away from a very large provincial park. They were woken up one morning by their dogs who were barking like crazy. When they got up to investigate, they found a Mama bear and Baby up in their tree. They called the RCMP who came, along with Park Rangers, to tranquilize the bears and take them back into the park. Your bear may just have wandered off from somewhere and may need help getting back home.

Oh yeah...HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, didn't think of the camera at the time. I could take pics of the brown spot on my shorts if you like.

Everyone in this town has bear shaped mailboxes, statues, welcome mats etc. They even have special days to celebrate. (Bear day?) I get the feeling that this is common. The lady I talked to didn't seem to care.

It's good to be alive!
