"Sparky, wild animal!"
"I know, I'm gonna go for it, honey!"
Feel sorry for the little guy who's going to get a lot of attention. As to Black bears are generally not aggressive towards people..., don't count on that.
They should have stayed home!
The bear wasn’t wearing a mask! Bad bear!
That’s what you get for falling asleep and leaving your Doritos open in your sleeping bag.
they should shoot him for not social distancing.
The wind sang us a lullaby, the snow was thick as cream
And icicles were chandeliers like crystals in a dream
And the streams were strips of
Diamonds, and the hills were white as snow
And a bear ate all our soybeans in the night.
If it is your time of the month, don’t sleep in a tent in bear country.
“The tent’s rainfly was damaged, but not the tent itself.”
Yes, the amount of damage to the tent was top of mind for me. I’m glad that was explained.
Sounds like the author is paid by the word.
When I was camping as a teenager I knew no food in the tent at night. Not even a stick of gum.
Hmmm, I thought bear boxes or hanging food 100 yards away was best practice. Anything that smells like a free meal - they can smell from miles away - is going to bring them sniffing around looking for a snack.
Can’t blame a bear for being hungry in the springtime (or summer or fall).
Colorado Rockies about 1969, we were in a Natl Park campground, my big brother took the dinner trash to the can across the road, 15 feet away, turned around before he crossed the road back to us a bear had knocked the top off of the can and was digging for dinner.
Hope she doesn’t have to explain the scratch on her head to her husband... /s
Anyone who leaves ANY foodstuffs within reach at their campsite in bear country is an idiot. Or wears the clothing that they cooked in when they get into their tent.
That is why the bear thought they were food.
City folk...
Just Yogi and Booboo looking for a snack.
Growing up we used to camp out in Yosemite often. The bears would rustle through our campground, and my dad told me they’d never attack the tent unless there was food in there. And I believed him!
Please add me to the outdoors list.
The bear thought it was a low calorie “wrap” with humans in it!
I had to have a cage 6’X10’ cage built with a chainlink top so I can feed birds and squirrels in our garden here in Eureka ca. I have lots of photos of bears in our yard. One is of a mama & 3 cubs just off the deck...
