Hungry bear blamed for ruining apple tree


A family is mourning the loss of a beloved apple tree but they believe they know who the culprit was: a hungry brown bear. "There is a bear out there that will rip a tree down," Lavena Sargent said Tuesday morning, a day after returning from a caribou hunting trip.

"It wasn't the world's best apple tree," she said. But at the end of a warm and sunny summer, it was bearing full-size apples for the first time and she was looking forward to picking them.
