Brett Eldredgegot more than he bargained for with a recent nature walk in North Carolina.
The CMA Award winner, 35, encountered a black bear rummaging through a trashcan in the garage on Tuesday before he even left the Asheville house where he was staying.
“Opened the garage door to go on a hike andhad a new friend waiting to say hello,” Eldredge wrote on Instagram with a video of the moment.
He and a friend could be heard yelling from across the garage for the bear to get out, but he was too preoccupied trying to get into the garbage can, which he tipped over. They eventually caused enough of a ruckus for the animal to turn away and walk off.
TheSunday Driveartist is no stranger to unexpected run-ins with wildlife. He woke up on New Year’s Day in 2017to find a snake in the toiletwhere he was staying on Staniel Cay Island in the Bahamas. “Before ya go to the bathroom…DONT FORGET TO LOOK DOWN,” he captioned the video at the time.
“Here we are, it’s the morning, and I was going to take a leak, start the day, you know? That’s how you start the day,” he narrated the video. “Then I walk and here, and what do we have but a beautiful New Year’s snake? Oh s—!”

“I know the joy and happiness that live music can bring to a lot of people, including myself and the band and everybody out there in the crowd,” explained Eldredge.
“We need each other. When the music begins, nothing else matters. And that’s what music does. And that’s what we do for each other when we’re there to connect with one another through music. It’s a beautiful thing.”
