When is a brown bear a black bear? Careful, pics are tough!

When is a brown bear a black bear?
....When he tries to eat through your 240-volt feeder cable to a
cathodic protection groundbed.


This happened recently on a Duke Energy (Texas Eastern Pipeline), reported by State Officials and the Department of Interior's U.S. Forest Service.

That does it. Next time my lights go out, I'm going 'round back to make sure no stupid bear has eaten my ground wire.

I'm going armed, in case it was only stunned.

Actually, can you imagine being the tech that had to go figure out what the f**k was wrong with the f**king power?

How did that call go, when he reported in?

over labor day in mogollon(pronounced-mo-go-yonn) new mexico(the spirit world), black bear tore into repeater wires at base of tower. tore hell out of it. how we know g/friends father is on fire dept and radios went on the fritz.

first day riding quads, saw baby bear and then another baby bear and then MOMMY BEAR! running out of berry patches. this gets better..................! next morning at 5am get up make coffee, walk outside. to my horror, not 15 feet away from where i slept in airstream trailer is BIG GIANT HURKY BEAR TURD! i mean BIG!

well needless to say from seeing mommy bear and baby bears, going berry picking was done under the watchful eye of a marlin 30/30 and a .45.

that night while up on hillside at g/friends folks house, we spy about a 400# daddy bear cruising on opposite hillside.

moral to story.................the BEARS KNOW WHERE THE BEST BERRY PATCHES ARE! DONT SCREW WITH BEARS!

I wonder why they are attracted to cables, what are they mistaking them for?
