You back to riding bikes yet?

not really. I maybe getting closer though.

Great now you guys got Mr. Bear in trouble

The write up makes you think it was the bear that ate Tim Treadwell for Petes sake. It was small and docile when when Paul,Arnold and I saw it. Ten minutes later it's a Maneater. Sheesh

Lol....naw....Frank is right on about the bear. He wasnt a problem for us. Stopped, checked us out, Frank banged a few rocks together, we yelled at bear to take off, and he did.

I think it was the people we saw in the lot with the 2 dogs. The dogs may have made the bear skittish and so it probably stood up to take a look see around? It sounds like they're trapping not killing if I read correctly.

 

[mtbiker87]

Yeah...they will probably live trap and relocate. This is the way.

That is not a suitable trap. First off bears can read. To make this an effective trap, they need to cross out the words bear trap and danger and hang a sign with announcing free picnic baskets. A suitable picnic basket then needs to be placed in the trap. There was a documentary series back in the 1960s about problem bears at Jellystone Park. The go to move to trap a problem bear is to string a snare trap to a sturdy yet very pliable tree branch. The snare is baited with a picnic basket. The ranger then sits back and waits.

So what's the deal boys ? Still Sterling on Sunday morning ? Or something else ? I'll also be down towards High Mountain around 12 on Saturday, so there's a possibility I'd be up for a spin through there if any one's up for it.
