MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) -- A late-night encounter with four bears trying to snack from backyard birdfeeders gave Vermont's governor a lesson in what not to do in bear country.
One of the bears chased Peter Shumlin and nearly caught the governor while he was trying to shoo the animals away, he said Friday.

The places that I hung out in never had an old way. When I was a kid Vermont was bucks only, so when I walked into a friends house I saw seven Does and a buck hanging, so I asked my pal WTF, “Got to get the first one leagal”.
The people were and are very poor and salt of the Earth, good friends and terrible enemies.

Should have called 911.
Gov: There are bears in my yard that look like they're up to no good.
911: Are these black bears, brown bears or polar bears?
Gov: They're black
911: You better lawyer up.

This is why we no longer have bird feeders. It wasn't worth the daily visits from the bear(s).
This man must be a total idiot.

I say when we finally decide to take out the GOP and start our own party, our symbol should be a bear.

I had not heard of this till you mentioned it in that other thread DJ. Nor did I remember that we held on to the LT Governorship.
Would have been tragic for his loved ones of course but an epic news story.
Oh well. That’s one lucky idiot.

If there had been just three bears, I’m sure he’d have stood his ground. /jk
