While picking up balls during a part-time job at Nashi-no-Ki Golf Garden, I witnessed a young bear (cub) crossing right in front of me. This happened last Thursday. I have confirmed the sounds of a cub several times at the same time of day in the past. I tried posting about it several times before, but it didn’t seem to go through, so although some time has passed since the sighting, I’ll try again.
