"Bear fur has been so low ln price the last few years that I have not tried to catch them if they would let my camps along and keep out of mischief,” writes a New Brunswick trapper in Fur News. “But they quite often break into the camps and then I have to kill them whether the fur is good or not. “If they do get in a camp butter and coffee seem to be their first choice, but they generally smash everything that will break and what they don’t eat they will destroy, and If they once learn to break into a camp the only way to stop them is the trap or gun.”
