Bill may have shared this story from Wayne's house, where the bear crossing sign is. Before we arrived, there was a grizzy coming down and eating from the dog food dish by their front door. Wayne's wife opened the door and sprayed the bear with bear pepper-spray to scare him off. The griz went into the trees for awhile, then came back for more dog food. The bears around here are the top of the food chain. They are fearless.
