This is a berry good topic. This is the time of the year when bears are ranging for food. The bears are ravenous. Until the berries come out they will continue to do so. A fact of nature.
During this time they (black bears) will be seen during the day time seeking food. During our recent cache outings including some Up Nort- we have come across black bears. They are very hungry. The bears range looking for food. Pretty much anything will do. Fawns, family pets (dogs) bird feeders and the like. Once the berries are available they pretty much have a consistent food source. (However, if you are a berry picker that will be of concern to you.)
We spotted several black bears within the last 2 weeks near Mountain and Winter here in Wisconsin. Also, while driving down Vander Cook Road on our way to Slo’s Pub on Big Arbor Vitae Lake during the day we saw a black bear. It is something to remember and can be unnerving to some.
So, please (pardon this) be berry berry careful and beware of da Bears. This is all part of being out and about in nature (the wild) as opposed to a city park.
Just as we had to be mindful of diamond back rattlers recently when we cached out in Utah, Nevada and Idaho. So keep this in mind and enjoy!
