Well this sucked big time... On the way home I hit a bear cub on CA 49. I don't know where the cub came from... It jumped out from the bushes on the right side of the road and hit the lower right corner of my bumper before bouncing back into the wilderness. I realized that it was a bear only after checking the rearview mirror several times. The cub appeared to be shocked and confused but I did not see any blood or open injuries.

We pulled over and tried to locate the injured cub but it was nowhere to be found. There was neither blood nor any other fluids were on the bumper but the right fog light was taken out by the impact. I really hope the bear was okay... It could not be older than several months...

Bummer - I know I feel horrible when I hit (or even see someone hit) an animal.

Bummer! We passed you and all wondered why we saw your trio of rigs stopped on the side of Hwy49...

Did you think what mom of the injured cub may "locate" YOU?
