Bears are a real issue here right now...It's not uncommon to have them break into homes and cabins and head right for the fridge. Especially up in Tahoe. I live up in an area where there are a number of orchards/vineyards and berry farms nearby, they are all looking for eats for the winter. I've seen them on the highway really close to town. Large cats are a problem also. Had a neighbor lose a couple of goats to Mt. Lions in the last year. It may be California, but is wild and woolier than some might expect, at least in the northern portions... Doug
