"My" Bear 1

Game Commission 0

They didn't get him. I know it's the same one, it HAS to be.

I looked out my family room door this morning, and I thought there was a cylindrical pile of ice in the middle of my back yard. Upon closer investigation, it turned out to be one of my next door neighbors' CRUSHED to pieces brand-new bird feeders.

There is NO WAY a different bear decided to drag his bird feeder into my back yard and play with it in almost the exact same spot as the "original" bear...

...And his new metal bird feeder - same neighbor- (attached to the trunk of a tree) is crushed like a used beer can.

My wife said doodle was out last night, came roaring back in, jumped up on his couch, and growled/barked extensively.

We may have had the weight/size correct in the first place, we will see.

The feeders in question this AM-

I guess your neighbor will have to relocate his bird feeder so the bear can't get it.

I read "Wiconisco" four times before I realized it did not say Wisconsin.

Just read this post...a month late but.........! Plug this into your google search and watch a bear come out of a tree and on to a trampoline here in Missoula a while back. "Missoula bear on trampoline" There are several videos of it coming down, even from Seattle and Baltimore. Yeh, Porforis...I'm usually between the mom and her cubs, or dancing with elk in our backyard, or getting tracked by a mountain lion.

The claw marks on my chest have healed nicely, thank you nurses at St. Pats Hospital.

I finally got a cable for my camera to post the pics of my garage makeover. On the camera was a viewable image of "my" bear, although it's grainy and dark. This is him "moseying off" Kinda cool, I didn't think I had one.

You should have put the camera down, ran over there and punched him in the ding ding!!
