It's looking like a 100% fruit loss in my vineyard due to bears and smaller critters.

That sucks. I am so sorry for your harvest this year
That sounds like a devastating blow for your harvest, but hopefully the bears will find plenty of better apples at someone else's place this season. I'll be cheering you on from behind my own vineyard wall as we navigate these tough times together.
₿rutal man, sorry
Ouch man. That is painful viewing. You’ve been here before too haven’t you. Sorry man. Our thoughts are with you.
Any "barn-yard" cats?
They couldn't beat the bear or skunks
Appreciate you. Hard times
Ben, I'm so sorry 😢
Appreciate you sir
We're gonna win 🫡
Appreciate you 🫡
Thank you sir
That’s terrible, sorry for the loss!
Thank you. Hard times
Thank you beth. Hard times
badger?
🧡
I'm done hunting
True, but mice tho
Brutal 🙈 sorry man is there bear insurance or something? 😅
Looks like an 100% tax write off for the bears eating them fruit 😂
Do you use any deterrent devices like propane cannons and screecher shells? Total loss, that stings.
Wow. I’m sorry that happened. Hopefully this doesn’t set you back too much.
Great choice. Appreciate you 🫡
I'm guessing you have insurance to cover this?
Wen Monero payment target?
It was just the Bear Necessities 
Dude
I dont
Wow hope you have insurance to cover this loss ?
And yeah this sucks sorry for your loss
This sucks. Though I think I thought you meant you lost the actual PLANTS when I saw your tweet on this, and based on this picture, it looks at least a bit less catastrophic in that manner. Still, a whole year's harvest in the midst of a bear market is definitely a double whammy.
Hoping we get our pump on so you can at least enjoy some Creed about it.
Side note, how much do you reckon you can sell a bearskin rug for?
It's always the bears fault. Hope you comeback higher and I could buy some wine from Canada one day!
Yeah but I couldn't kill the 1000 racoons skunks and bears in time
Need some backup 🤔
😮💨
Found info, then Michigan DNR link 404’d, sorry. I’m sure there are a few of us boomers here more than happy to assist!

Sorry Ben, that is rough. Deer, birds, mildew, people stealing fruit, turkeys, raccoons have all been an issue before but bears are not something I have had to deal with…sorry you lost the whole vintage. Hang in there
What happened? I don't understand
When I clicked on the original link to Michigan DNR I sent you, it went no where, so no ref info.
Other comment is that I’m sure there are hunters here that would love to help early next season!
