There was a persimmon tree in the garden of an abandoned house beside the road, and it was gathering young persimmons by standing up. It was about 10 meters from the road. This is the second time this year that I have seen one in this area. I felt that when walking through this area in the morning or evening, preventive measures such as bear bells or lights are necessary to let bears know that people are present.
