Cubs and mom enjoy a fishy meal
This photo was taken south of Superior, Wis., by Dennis Archer recently. A sow bear with five cubs had found some fish entrails that Archer had placed in his yard. It's not common for a sow to have five cubs, said Martha Minchak, Department of Natural Resources assistant area wildlife manager in Duluth. "It's obviously a very healthy sow, probably in her prime reproductive years," Minchak said.

It’s summer time and living is easy
ife, for the deer, is pretty easy during the summer. All the grazing and browsing they could want is within easy reach.

Providing such special treats does not always agree with the person that planted the corn or beans.By Walter Scott , July 10, 2010
