Dexter Bear enjoying celebrity, but may be wearing out its welcome

The Dexter Bear Facebook page features a photo album of the bear’s “Wild Road Trip” around Dexter, in which a stuffed black bear makes appearances at Dexter businesses and landmarks.

While the bear’s appearance has been fun for some, others have seen a more destructive side. Brittney Abbott lives on Mast Road (bear sighting ground-zero) and keeps free-range chickens in a coop in her back yard.

“They tore all the fencing off the coop. I had 14 chickens, and now only two are left. The rest were mauled or are missing,” Abbott said.

The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s office told AnnArbor.com that it received a call on Saturday night from someone driving on Mast Road who saw a bear chasing a chicken.

Until the attack on her coop, Abbott had a friendly relationship with the bears and had snapped a few pictures.

“They’ll come right in front of my door and sit down,” she said. “They’ll let me get within a foot of them; they’re not afraid of me at all. If cars pull in the driveway they’ll come out and check it out and then go back into the woods.”

According to Kristin Bissell , a wildlife biologist in the Waterloo Field Office of the Michigan DNR, the live trap the DNR set for the bear is within 2,000 feet of Abbott’s home. The trap is on a nearby property where the bear broke into some beehives.

The DNR says there's only one bear in Dexter, while Abbott insists that there are two. She says they have been observing the pigs that she also keeps in her yard. “They will walk up to the pig pen and stare at the pigs,” Abbott said. “The mama bear will get on two feet and stare at the pigs and then prop itself up against the fence. The baby will just sit behind the mama and lean on her.”

Bissell said the observation of the second bear had not been verified by the DNR.

“It’s not a big surprise that you would get a bear down here now and then,” she said. “But with the new evidence that there might be two, we could be dealing with a more unique situation.
