I
was talking to a neighbor and he related a funny story about a peanut stealing
bear. He is a dairy farmer and stores 100 lb. sacks of peanuts in his barn that
he feeds to his dairy cows. He was working at his barn one morning earlier this
summer when the corn was still fairly short and noticed a bear in his corn
field next to the barn. The bear would stand up look around and then drop back
down in the same spot. It did this a couple of times. The farmer got curious as
to what the bear was up to so he walked out into the corn about 100 yards to
where the bear was. The bear ran off when he approached and he found one of his
sacks of peanuts torn apart and mostly eaten. Apparently the bear smelling the
peanuts walked into the barn and helped himself to a sack. Below are some
miscellaneous bear pics I’ve gotten over the last couple of weeks. Since this
farm is only about a mile away from the farm I set my cameras on I wonder if
one of these is the peanut thieving bear?

A cute story, but I wouldn't have walked over to see what the bear was doing! lol
I didn't know dairy cattle ate peanuts.
Having a bear that close by would kinda freak me out.
ha! love that story. I enjoy your photos of bears and fawns.
