BEAR STEALS 36 BEERS FROM CAMPERS, GETS DRUNK & PASSES OUT

According to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, a black bear was found passed out in a campground due to drinking a 36 beers.

Now we all, well certainly I do, always make sure I am stocked up on my brewskies when I go camping. Like all campers, we head out during the day to hike, fish, swim or play Australian Rules Bocce. While these campers were gone, this backwoods bandit bear snuck into their campsite and opened up their cooler full of cold brews.

The evidence was discovered after they found the bear passed out with a trail of empty beer cans leading back to the campsite. A total of 36 cans were found with bite marks and bear claw punctures in them.

Now this bear must be a fan of the show Longmire as I am.

And just like my favourite Sheriff Walt, this bear was only interested in a specific type of beer called Rainier Beer. When investigating the scene it was found the bear opened one Busch Beer and apparently didn’t like it because he left the rest of them untouched. However, he drank all of the Rainier Beer.

When the park officials tried to chase it away from the campground the bear was

stumbling so bad it couldn’t walk straight and climbed a tree to take a nap. I for one know how this bear felt when he woke up and park rangers were able to safely remove the bear.

However, the bear had such a good time it showed back up the very next day for round two with another camper’s cooler of beers. Though this time the wildlife officials were prepared and set a trap that safely captured the bear again by luring him in with donuts, honey and of course… two open cans of Rainier Beer.
