We've been away in Missoula most of this week, and this healthy black bear has been feasting on plums. Apparently it has a regular circuit, because the time stamps for 3-4 nights in a row show it coming in just after 9 PM and again sometime around 3 AM. We saw it last night right outside the cabin on the early buffet. The neighbors' dog comes over and barks at it, and the bear just turns to face it and huffs once or twice. That shuts the dog up and the bear goes back to gorging. Electric fence going up today, as it is now showing interest in not just the deadfall, but the plums on the trees. The little trees are pretty stout, but couldn't stand up to this weight when the bear climbs up.
