“The bear actually had my wife’s head in its mouth and started to drag her towards the woods.”

"that bear will generally retreat in the presence of humans, but the animal that was fatally shot would not"

I hadn't heard if anyone had reported the presence of the bears in this neighborhood to DNR or the police prior to the attack...has anyone heard that? Seems odd that this is the first sighting and the attack took place at that time...

There are bear there seen a dead bear on the side of 41 going though the glades. Someone was either dumping garbage near by or feeding them. They do like bird feeders though.

They just like a coon or possum. They eat about anything. No doubt food was there but I doubt someone was feeding them. Need to keep them thinned out.
