VIDEO: Seven bears caught on video near Bonanza

A man is sharing footage of seven bears spotted in a backyard northeast of the community of Bonanza.

After finding a collection of empty cans scattered all over and a patio chair ripped apart, a family member of David Meier asked him to check the recordings from the surveillance camera he had set up on the back deck.

He says they were quite surprised to have caught the bears, all about the same size, sniffing around the yard together.

“We pulled up the video camera and happened to see one bear, then two bears, then three bears and it kept on going and going,” says Meier.
