It is an experience that I would like to see once. My parents are plagued with 2 bears almost nightly. They have destroyed the bird feeders, my parents now either leave the feed on the ground along with bringing in the feeders nightly, my brother lives near them, one got in his dog house and thrashed around, and they come up to his back porch and the dog chases them away. Not to hi-jack your thread. Have you seen them since?
