Bear encounter sets Vermont records in Rupert
John Randolph notes two notable bear stories from Vermont outdoors lore. Louis Lorenzo, a Rupert telephone lineman, reportedly became the first in southern Vermont to be polled by a bear and may have set a 100 yard dash record while fleeing the animal. After a tense standoff atop a Kent Hollow Road pole, aid arrived hours later as the bear and cubs disappeared into the brush. Lorenzo later wrote on black bears for The Vermont Sportsman urging patience and luck in pursuing wildlife.
