We have got kinda used to them being around. I have had one come up right behind me before and steel a pack of hotdogs off the table. It's amasing how quiet they can be sometimes. It still gets my heart racing but we have learned to tolerate them . Had a cub run up to me once in the yard, and one snort from the mom and he ran back to her. they are vary courous, have had them sit by the treeline and just watch me and when i walk away they will come over to see what I was doing. Last year had one plop down at the end of the drive way and watch me do the brakes on my truck, Sarah brought me out somthing to drink and she thru some stale bread to him and he sat there and ate it till a car came up the road and he went up in the woods. If you don't startle them they wont get agressave. But they are well awair that they usaly get somthing to eat if they hang around when we are out side. And they seem to know that grandma will be cleaning out lastyears stores from the root celler and putting them out for the wildlife and it also gives them a little boost from the winter sleep till things start to grow for them to eat.
