This Blue Lake black bear, photographed early Sunday morning by Jonathan Schram, appears to have been caught in the high-beams in the midst of destroying one of the recently handmade signs for the Medieval Festival of Courage, scheduled for early next month.

Is he upset about being left out? C’mon, someone could offer this ursine fellow in a bright green smock and feathered cap so he can dress like Little John in Disney’s Robin Hood. Now that would take courage. 

NOTE: This post has been corrected from a previous version which, stupidly, referred to this as a brown bear. Oops.
