The video cam is set. Maybe tonight I will see that bear again. Sara and I saw some poops on the property on the way to the clif Sunday, he is around and healthy. Someone said something about the bear only wanting food and not the actual chickens. The day he broke into the chicken run, I...

No, not me. Will not pepper the bears but with shot because he wants to eat those chickens. The bears were here before we were. I appreciate where I live and my surroundings. You know, people pay money to vacation places like this and sit back in hope to see a bear or other wildlife. I am...
