Default Le Bears are getting smarter or evolving

Le Bears are getting smarter !
And we seem to have an abundance of Bears all over; even in my suburban area !
So it is; when I take my "Constitutional" walk in the morning; I am on the lookout as I do not want to run into a Bear ! Ha !

If you go to a national park in the forest in the states; you do not leave a Picnic Basket on the back seat of your car; because the Bears know what a Picnic Basket is ! And they will break you car window to get in and get the goodies out of the basket !
Strange as it might seem to members of the EU; americans frequently have extra freezers or Refridgerators in their Garages ( which are frequently double-size ) and the bears have discovered if the Garage door is open they can then raid the Freezers or ice boxes and get the food out and take it into the forest so it can thaw and they can eat Steaks, Pork Chops, Chickens, etc. from the Hu-mans ! Ha !
It is easier to take food away from us; then to have to kill something ! Ha !
The Bears will sometimes take the trash cans away ; so that they can see what the Hu-mans have discarded !

In Chicago, Le Bears are as incompetent as they have ever been (wait, this isn't the NFL thread, never mind )

I recently heard of "bear shutters" - large wooden plates one closes over the windows when they will be leaving for a period of time, so bears don't bust in the glass and ransack their kitchens.

It's been awhile since we had a bear in town - but last one we had did wind up making the local news. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/loca...hting/3159292/

They didn't look quite as silly as the Jets receivor; instead of scoring a TD, he dropped the ball before he crossed the goal line, so it was ruled a touchback !

I no longer have a team myself, as I don't like the Kneeling ! I still watch the highlights of the best or worst games, though ! Ha ! I can't break myself of the habit ?

Edit:

There was a Hunter who came and occupied a Cabin in the woods to set traps and hunt.

However the area ; belonged to the local Wolverine; who are Mean little animals and Quite Territorial. So the Wolverine didn't like the Hunter "Trespassing".

So one day the Hunter locked up his cabin and went to hunt and check his traps. The Fire in his fireplace went out; so the wolverine climbed down his Chimney like Saint Nicholas ! Ha !

But the Wolverine tore everything in the cabin to pieces the guys Pillow, Bedspread, sacks of flour and food,seat cushions, etc. The Little Wolverine tour everything to smithereens. Then the Wolverine went back up the Chimney and escaped !

When the hunter came back to his Cabin and unlocked the door he found that the interior of his Cabin looked like it had been hit by a Tornado ! Ha !
