I can believe that, Sam.

A friend has a relatively remote place about an hour and a half out in the
country. It is reached, after leaving the main roads,  by a long drive on a
fire road through a thick forest up a mountain side. 

You come out of the forest onto an idyllic scene: acres of rocky field
planted here and there with clumps of apple trees. The first time I visited,
as we came out of the forest we saw a herd of deer eating fallen apples
under the trees. When the deer heard the car, they took flight. It was a
beautiful sight. But there was more: as the deer ran away, the apple tree
they were eating under began to shake. Before we knew it, a huge black bear
tumbled out of the tree, regained its composure, and went trotting off into
the woods. 

Very cool!

We have lots of bears here on the Oregon coast.
They do not bother the deer.
The deer eat what they want.
So do the bear.
So fencing in very important to save your crops of anything.
Need a combination of solid and electric.
