18 bears for me, 7 sightings in town. With a bear population of up to 30,000 in Wa. it isn't surprising I am seeing more bears but then I am also watching for them

I have seen a lot of bears this year didn't keep a count. Saw 2 driving up to Johnson Ridge yesterday. We have a bear problem In Sky with 7 different bears in town getting in garbage cans (the city even made garbage pick up times later in the day to try to avoid the situation). People think the bears are always going to be up high this time of the year but their wrong. Lots of salmon in the river. One big one climbed by apple tree and another busted up my blue berry plans in the middle of town.
