In a New Hampshire town known more for its annual motorcycle rally, a brazen black bear has made international news.
The wayward black bear strolled into Mary Beth Parkinson’s home in Laconia New Hampshire this week through an open door, and made itself quite at home in the family kitchen.
The bear is being dubbed as ‘Goldilocks’ not because it ate porridge, but instead snacked on some pears and a clump of grapes it found sitting out.
The bruin then washed it all down with a drink from the family fishbowl and grabbed a stuffed likeness of itself – a ‘teddy bear’ – on the way out the door.
When the woman arrived home the sound of the garage door opening startled the bear which then made a run for it!
Mary Beth Parkinson said she will make sure all her doors are properly shut when she leaves the house next time.
Now, how come this sort of thing never happens in Toronto?
In a related story, a bear in Colorado tore apart the inside of someone’s car this week. Apparently, it got in to eat a peanut butter sandwich left on the back seat, and was trapped inside when the door closed.

By the way, anyone who would like to send-in a favourite (& tasteful) hunting photo, along with a short story, I will be posting a ‘Hunting Memories Blog’ in a week or so…I’ve already recieved some from Iggy and Keebler.
Who knows, maybe I’ll even make a contest out of it and throw in some prizes! (I dont have a problem with bribery)
Feel free to email what you have to the “Contact the Outdoors Guy” hyperlink, located along the righthand side of this page.
I look forward to seeing all your great photos…be they great or small.
Best regards,

Jeff,
Only hunting pictures? No fishing pictures??
Heading out for some Lake Ontario drag screaming kings and high flying steelhead on Monday. Hope to have some great pictures to share with ya!
Have a great long weekend!
heard only part of the story this morning on CFRA but it seems there has been another bear attack.
Don’t know where though, just got the last part of the story
I say again, It ain’t the bear’s fault. If one climbs through your patio window after smashing it out then ascends a flight of stairs and rips you apart at 4 am while you still have a piss heard on then I’ll agree it may be predatorial in nature.
If they’re eating what ever they find in their own house and we are there then leave them alone.
Why are we trying to eliminate these animals for doing what it is they do…
And in case you’re thinking it, I ain’t a member of PITA either.
I would agree that this is definitely the resident’s fault for leaving the door open.
But what if a human intruder comes into your house because you left the door open??
