Bingo..the poor kid might have snuck a few cookies...peanut butter or somesuch..a bear’s sense of smell is unreal....

Does it have to be just the snacks? How about the kid himself? Wouldn't’t the bear normally pray on a kid sized animal? I don’t know anything about bears but I think they eat people sized animals like deer for instance. The bear might have been just hunting a big meat meal not a peanut butter sandwich. Don't bears have young this time of year to take food to.
