Jack weighs in All of the day's doings paled in comparison to the one event that topped off our day—the return of One-eyed Jack! 
One-eyed JackAfter a long hot day of fieldwork, we were rushing to get out the door to a evening barbeque. We noticed a bear in the yard and did a double-take. It was Jack and he looks great! We lured him onto the scale—378.5 pounds. He's thinner than usual for this time of year, but he's sleek and handsome. Welcome back Jack!
Thank you for all you do.
