Black bears wreaking havoc in Lake Tahoe area
Friday, December 10, 2010
William Hunter was in the dining room of his Lake Tahoe restaurant last month when he came face to face with a 500-pound black bear.
"He got up on his haunches behind me," said Hunter, 66, the owner of Bacchi's Inn, on Lake Forest Road about 1 1/2 miles outside Tahoe City. "There was nothing between me and where he was seated."
It was the fourth bear break-in at the restaurant and Hunter's second close encounter with the same hungry bear. The bear eventually charged him, and he shot it dead.
