I make some killer wine. The chokecherry crop was nil this year. We had a cold spell this spring that hindered all of the pollination. Danged bears where still looking for food clear into December. I thought they were hibernating by thanksgiving so I had the left over turkey out on the covered privacy deck.
I woke up to a ruckus about 3 am on 28 of November. Damned bear on the deck. Good sized one to boot. I think it was his last hurrah. Haven’t seen one since.
