gator99 ...Hope your right about the bear this year. We had some hard rain's, and hail up untill last week....am worried that maybe it got some of the berry blossom's. Last year was so dry that the berries did'nt fare well, and did'nt see hardly and bear sign where we generaly go. Crossing my finger's for this season.....or maybe I'll just have to shoot onme out of the garden were I've taken most of mine.........do they consider that baiting..???.....lol......Wayne
