Got his picture taken as well, if you want to see it go to BerkshireEagle.com. Home page, Open season on yard trash for area bears (http://www.berkshireeagle.com/headlines/ci_3729645) you'll see he's one big sucker.

Dam, did it again PA, sorry about that, next time I'll be willing to pay a fine.:bang:

What did it mean in the link when it said the "Environmental police were called to the scene..."? I've never heard them called this before.

Beats the heck out of me, we always referred to them as Game Wardens. Maybe they carry guns now. :D

Not here, nowadays any kind of inforcement requires guns so it wouldn't suprise me at all. Heck, I'd even give them to school crossing guards.

TD,
From the article:

"Chief Steven O'Brien said people should secure their garbage — or even better, keep it in a locked garage."

Reminded me of an old joke in my mother-in-law's neighborhood in da Bronx:

Garbage truck stops in front of an apartment building where a woman is leaning out her upper floor window. Driver yells out, "Hey, Mrs. Soandso, you got any garbage up there?" She yells back, "No, send up a couple of cans."

Picking through the garbage at the local markets was common when I was a kid, my father would get there prior to opening and get the best before it hit the pails. ESP the fuits and vegetables. Then he would hit bakery just down the road to get the day olds. :)

Yes, he is big. Every time I go out the door I think he might be just around the corner, the pictures you saw that street is just up the road for me but he goes through my yard to get there. :eek:

I suggest wearing a whistle around your neck. Ghosts and bears, noise works!

Yes it does, when the cops come they turn on the siren. Late Wed he was into my next door neighbors garbage again, I can't believe after talking to him he still loaded it up with garbage, he agreed he would separate it and put it out when the truck came. I put mine in the garage but doesn't have one. I get the feeling his den is close by, up in back of me there's an old quarry that grown over. I'm sure he'll be back again.
