Bear Standing Eating From Bird Feeder

Occurred on July 25, 2023 / Landrum, South Carolina, USA

Info from Licensor: "I had just poured my coffee and was getting ready to head out the door for work when my wife said 'LOOK!' I tried being very quiet because I didn’t want to spook the bear. It’s pretty common in our area to have bear sightings, but I thought this one was unique in that he was standing like a person and being very careful with the birdfeeder.

After I took the Vid, I opened the front door to try and get a different shot. The bear heard me and sort of moved away about 10-15 yards and sat down and looked at me. Right after that, our dog got wind what was going on and started barking, the bear then ran off into the woods.

Actually, this morning (Wednesday) we put the bird feeder back outside (started taking it inside at night) around 8:00 am. My wife noticed a little while later that all the bird seed was gone again… he must of visited again without her noticing."
