re: Since bears have been in the news lately. Have you ever seen one

First time I saw one was at Avery Island touring the Tabasco facility. They have some signs up that say “watch for bears”. I thought it was a joke. It was not. As my daughter and I walked through their “parks/gardens” my daughter said, dad there’s a bear, looked up and an adolescent black bear was just standing there looking. He never showed any aggression, and ran when I yelled.

This was summer of 2018 I’m guessing. My daughter was 12 so no pics. Although I did take pics of the bear.
