Black Bear Joins Family For Beer And Snacks In Deep Creek, Maryland
Whiskey Riff ^ | April 19, 2023 | Andrew Mies

Just for the record, this is not a good idea…

Black bears are known as the friendliest breed of bears and do a pretty decent job cohabitating with humans. Of course, “friendly” is a pretty relative term when we’re talking about bears…

Sometimes you get one that’ll break in and play your piano, but overall, you’re less worried about being killed when black bears are around, compared to all other species in North America.

One of the reasons black bears tend to stay in places where humans are is an ample supply of garbage, excuse me, I mean food. Which is why bears tend to be see at campgrounds more than regular state parks.

While many people have seen a black bear, a family spending time in Deep Creek, Maryland had an experience that few on earth can relate to.

While sitting on the backyard picnic bench, drinking beer and having some snacks, a black bear calmly walked up and took a seat at the table. You’d think that would send everyone running, but nope, they didn’t feel threatened and simply brought the bear into the circle.

Is it a Trans-bear?

Notice it’s a case of Trans-beer!

At least it’s just beer, better than some other habits he could get caught up in...

Time of year also matters. If the bear was just coming out of hibernation, it’s going to want a lot of protein, and not just a few snacks.

They should be glad it wasn’t a grizzly bear or a polar bear!

I seem to remember Yogi was a brown bear, not black. Though we didn't have color television back in those days, at least not most of us.

True but if you use the wrong kind of seasoning it might bring out the flavor of the meat too strongly.

The gaminess of deer meat can be quite nice with wine and onions, but in the case of bear it only reminds me of when I was gutting him.
