Hi All,
We previously mentioned the black bear sow with a cub that had been stealing food from campers and picnickers. We recently got these photos documenting the theft of a cooler.
Imagine sitting in a chair along the lake when suddenly you realize a bear is standing next to you. That was the experience of a woman sitting at String Lake about 20 seconds before she took this picture. You can see how far into the lake she jumped.
Unfortunately, though not surprisingly, she left her cooler behind. The sow ripped open the cooler, found some cantaloupe and fed it to her cub.
Getting human food is very bad behavior and often results in trapping and relocation of the bear or worse.
We were all relieved a few days ago, when this bear and cub were seen eating berries about eight miles south of the picnic area. Hopefully, she will stay away from campers and picnickers.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
