Boaters seeking a quiet anchorage in the sheltered waters of Browning Cove, east of Little Current at Heywood Island, have instead found themselves facing a hungry bear that visited four different boats over the course of three days.

"I was down below fixing dinner, a bass I caught yesterday, when I heard this loud strange scratching noise," says Brian Laux of Walworth, NY.

"I thought it might have been a human swimmer in trouble, someone who was so weak they couldn't crawl out of the water. But when I went outside there was a bear right in the water—he was trying to climb up the side of the boat," Mr. Laux recalled. "He sort of gave me a dirty look."
