BEAR IN THE FIELD

Yesterday when we drove in from our evening drive there was a bear sitting in our field. He seemed to be just smelling the wildflowers. There were also some deer in the field at the same time. We have seen more bears this year here at Doubleview than ever before. They have been down in our peach orchard tearing up the trees. Instead of just eating the fruit off of the limbs they break the limbs off of the trees and lie down on the ground and eat the fruit. Bears do thousands of dollars of damage to the orchards in our area each year. We really enjoy seeing the bears but they have really increased in numbers and are destructive pests.
