A homeowner was prosecuted here in NJ for shooting a bear that had been pounding on his door.
I was talking with a fellow who does tree work, and he quoted some "old timers" who feel that squirrels have evolved such that they are no longer afraid--they'll sit there holding their own whereas 25 years ago they would get up and run.
Seems the "urban sprawl" is having some effects on "mother nature."
