Many may have seen the above video last August on their local news that gave this person a good laugh when considering how the bear also no doubt has been having a good laugh. :lol:

A news article today followed up with an ending that I like.

"At the beginning of September, a very large, very old bear was released back into the wild...
16 or 18 years old. It weighed about 500 pounds...
“The bear walked right up in the middle of everybody and sat down at the picnic table and started eating the birthday cake they had, right there,” Thomas says...
You could tell the bear was old and had lived a long tough life and made it through. And just kept doing what it did.”...

Last week I had a 4-5 hundred pounder come in to my garage, knock over the garbage can, grab a bag of garbage and casually stroll away.
It was probably the salmon scraps that attracted him....
(And yes, we tracked down the remains of what he didn't eat and cleaned it up)
