In 1999, black bears moved into Beaver Creek, which is located a few miles outside of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.  Over time, Beaver Creek's environment has evolved, becoming more bear friendly.  Nowadays the young male Bears of Beaver Creek are one happy bunch.  These short videos tell a part of the Bears of Beaver Creek story.

Whenever seeing a Beaver Creek Bear that we do not immediately recognize, we think to ourselves "Who Dat?!"  And, of course, when trying to identify specific Beaver Creek Bears from photographs or videos acquired in bad "snout lighting," or environmental conditions not conducive for good bear photography, often we are left wondering if our conclusion was the wrong bear.  These short videos clips show several bear identification close calls. 

When hearing a Beaver Creek Bear a coming - especially young males that are newcomers to Beaver Creek and not accustomed to interacting with us - we find it best (as the song says) to think of a ditty and start humming to let that bear know you are there...for there's nothing worse than a startled Beaver Creek Bear.  The following short videos show young Rascal trying his paw at bear photography.

For those interested in foraging and mushrooms, our exquisite bride, Hunter, has an online store with various mushroom products - The Mushroom Lover.

We recommend Hunter's Porcini Rub, which is sublime seasoning when cooking or grilling rib eye steaks.  And Hunter's children's book, Where The Mushrooms Are, is a fun way to get your toddlers interested in nature and everything interwald.
