5:00 PM Wed. Bear up a tree and chased off by our Black Lab, Bullet. The
bear ran off toward Jane and Bill Ellis’s house and went across Saw Mill
into the woods. I worried that the bear would go after our dog but it was
the other way around.

After hearing a significant rustling in the woods and with a clear instinct that something large was there, I saw a black bear, mature, about 350 pounds, standing on all fours with its gaze fixed — on me. The bear offered nothing by way of expression or stance except a sense, I thought, of curiosity. At 50 yards distance, it occurred to me that staying still was the best response. So did the bear.
After waiting for one of us to do something, I went back about my walking, and so too the bear, though we both stopped to take a look at each other a few more times.
Litchfield, Milton Section, 8:00 PM on Sat May 1, 2006, about 100 yards west of the Shaepaug and about a half mile south of the Mlton Cemetary.
