Bear Attack in the night!!

Last night a bear came to our property and decided to strip my apple tree of its apples, which were not quite ripe. Next it stole the bread that I had left out for my tame Jays. Then it got into our feed store and ripped open the feed bins containing the horse food and picked up the small barrel that contained cat food and took it nto the bush. There it took off the lid, had a meal and took a nap! It must have been a big bear as the two scats it left as a calling card were huge and contained my apples. What an insult! We have lived here for over 20 years and this is the first time a bear has done any damage---maybe a sign that we are going to have a long and hard winter.
