Young bear I.D.
« on: June 20, 2023, 01:29:47 PM »
We rented a cabin with some friends last weekend and the previous guests left a lot of garbage right outside the kitchen window. Our first night there we had this little visitor arrive, not scared of us at all. There was some differing opinions as to what kind of bear this is, so I thought I'd see what you guys think?

 The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
