News of bears breaking into cottages is becoming regular fare. In 1999 Ontario's spring bear hunt was banned. Populations have clearly increased. Yet another event just came to me via email from a neighbor - as a result of the PaBIA Spring Cottage Patrol. Black bears have been known to make predatory attacks on humans - http://www.algonquin-eco-watch.com/blackbear.htm#Some Hopefully we will never hear of this in PaB, but I am sure people would like to hear your stories. You can post here or there is also the PaBIA Forum - http://www.pabia.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4&sid=40c57aef572e62077ec4666a57d245ab Also note informational bear links at the bottom of the sidebar.
