    That was a lucky bear. As wound up as he was... he must have been pretty short on air...
    The size of that "thing" making all that noise when he popped out musta been a rush... :rofl: :lol:

    Funny that was one of the first things that caught my eye. He could have at least followed the rows as far as possible. Perhaps he might owe a few dollars to the farmer?

    Thought about the damage also, so I researched it and it turns up there is an aerial view of the field. Doesn't look too bad...[​IMG]

    Looks like Modern Art version of a corn maze!
    Actually, I don't think I would be brave enough to be the cameraman, even though the field was open and the chances were good the bear would run away and not be t'd off and maul the first human it saw.

    The farmer is the one that made the video.
