Hi all.  good night Katip, take care.

Looks like not much has been happening tonight so far.  With the new day soon approaching, I hope it brings us lots of good sights and sounds.

good camming all.

Sleep is getting the better of me so good night time to all cammers!

A hilarious story of Boo, Barry. I needed it now! I´ll collect some info which could help to treat bears wiser here and your adresses were very good help.

I took part in a discussion in the netpaper ( biggerst one in Finland). There were to sides for bears and against them. Nobody mentioned the jogger who must be shocked! Most people criticed exaggerating action and killing the bear family.

Now we hopefully see some nice critters here and enjoy of them.

EDIT: Boo is quite a chunk !

EDIT  HERE IS MORE

Boo eluded resort staff, who spent 480 man-hours tracking him and another 50 hours using a helicopter, until Friday morning, when the bear was spotted six kilometres west of the refuge. A tranquillizer was shot from the air. Five or six minutes later, the bear was down and four people loaded him into a sling. He was air-lifted back to the resort, where by early afternoon, Boo was groggy but recovering in a 12-metre-by-12-metre outdoor enclosure.

Thank you Barry for the bear matters. I save the site into my favorites. There is so much interesting reading.

The bear I told earlier, and her two cubs were shooted in the evening. I can´t understand. We can´t be proud at all how we treat our wild animals in Finland.
