I love visiting Bear Country! My cousin, Pauline Casey and her husband, Dennis, started the business many years ago. Whenever I am in the area, I take my family by there to check out the new animals. We even had a family reunion in Deadwood a few years back and we all spent the whole day there. It has been too long since I have been there. Looking forward to a revisit.

Re: Bear Country, does anyone know what issue of SD mag. had the feature article on the Casey family and Bear Country? I thought I'd saved the issue, but apparently I've lost it. Any help would be appreciated. We are collecting material for a museum in Pickstown, SD and would like to include that issue as Dennis Casey was a dentist in Pickstown for a short time. Thanks!!
