Well this has been some year.
Twice I have been hit by bear, another paid a second visit to a yard it had hit the week before, and today I got a call from a yard that is at the other end of my yards distance wise. They had told me several weeks ago that there was "bear talk" among other neighbours in the area so I pre-emptively set up fence using a smaller 6 D cell battery fence charger. A bear visited last night and tried in 2 separate areas of the fence and then gave up, but not before leaving a calling card much like the one Robo had visit.
Judging by the size of his calling card I am glad I wasn't there at the time.
This is the proximity from his leavings to the hives.
1st attempt.
2nd attempt.
Calling card. Obviously it was into some berries somewhere.
I have to admit that I am somewhat impressed that this smaller D cell fencer stopped this bear.
