I took a picture of a pile of bear scat on the sidewalk behind the local A and W off Voght street yesterday Am. the Scat was full of mountain ash berries something not that attractive a meal to bears there are crab apples a block away. A rather large pile, meaning a large bear.

A model bear and long term celebritybear of whistler was shot yesterday because of; as with all bears was too adjusted to humans which can be an eventual tragedy as bears have conditioned actions sometimes called instincts that can  be activated by humans and when the way the humans always lose. A bear can travel  very fast  when they decide to come after something and people have little chance of escaping without some bad results.
