Black bear spotted in
Murrysville
Murrysville
,
PA
– Attracting a large
black bear was not exactly what the Powers’ of
Murrysville
had in mind when they filled their birdfeeder on Wednesday, May 19. But
that’s exactly what they got.
After
three nights of waking to find their bird feeder in shambles, William and
Peggy Powers of
Haymaker Farm Rd.
decided to find out what was causing all the damage. They called their son
for help. Their son, Bill Powers, Jr. is the owner of PixController.com
and inventor of the Penn’s Woods
Digital-Scout.
Assuming
it was just a bunch of destructive raccoons, Powers set up one of the new
Penn’s Woods DS-04 Digital-Scout camera systems as well as one of his
homemade video trail cameras to try to catch the little troublemakers. But
to everyone’s surprise, when Powers retrieved the cameras Thursday
morning, he had about 20 digital images and some great video footage of a
large black bear raiding the feeder. The bear made his visit at 10:22 pm;
just about one hour after Powers set the cameras up on Wednesday night.
The bear has been estimated at approximately 250-300 lbs.
