About Us:
We are a homeschool and homesteading family currently building on our new 20 acre homestead in North Idaho. We garden, seed save, raise rabbits, raise chickens, process our own meat, save our own seed, can, bake, and do just about everything that we can ourselves to achieve a self sufficient and debt free life for our family.

Living on acreage we had our 2 beautiful Maremma LGD girls who looked out for the whole family but especially the kids when they were outside playing. We don’t have bears but they patrolled the property and all the local wildlife knew it was their territory. One would sit by the youngest while she was playing and the other would take a higher view point and watch. We always kept an eye out but to have that extra layer of security was incredibly helpful especially as we had a lot of snakes. They will train you and the kids and we all knew the snake bark!

[@rudyfisher7660]

When the bear is in the area make sure you just cut the fire a couple shots off and she won't come back she'll stay away from that area because she don't want to come around with her cubs

[@catherinebiggs8162]

After living in a National Forest for 8 years my advice is to make noise. When you see a bear, talk to it. “Go away bear.” Honestly, for the most part black bears don’t want to hang about with you. You do have some draws with the chickens and sheep but as you say, the humans are the number one priority. Have bear spray handy. There are bears that develop nuisance behavior if someone is feeding them, and that is not something you can control beyond your property. They are lots of fun to watch and take pictures of though. Just know they are drawn to even bird feeders so minimize that draw. House is looking great!

[@Sherri419393]

As a custom home builder my son framed many houses and I got the cut pile concession...my favorite part of watching him build was the framing. It's like watching a flower bloom in early spring for me...every room going up is like another color coming out. You are making your flower bloom and it's spectacular.

[@richardross7219]

Congratulations on the finished framing. Save as much of the scrap pile as you can. When I was a kid, my grandfather would make toys for me from some of the scraps. Later, I did the same for my son. The scraps will come in handy in the shop. While you are framing, consider building one of the small rooms into a safe room too. You need to scare the bear off before your garden and livestock become too tempting for her. I figure the chickens are most at risk. BTW a grizzly bear recently attacked a hiker in Yellowstone. Good Luck, Rick

Wow, a 7'X16' walk in closet is a dream come true for me! That's a Master suite not a bedroom area! Very nice! Black bears usually scare easily with noise. Air horns, fireworks and shooting blanks for a couple days usually encourages Momma to move her cubs to a safer location. If you find a lost baby turkey you can raise it up for a holiday dinner. Sometimes mom can't keep track of them all and with a few slight changes in food turkeys can be raised with the chickens. Keep those eyes open out there.
