Several months ago here in Central FL we had a woman visiting a friend from up North who insisted on petting a large alligator laying on the side of a river.

Her last words as her friend tried in vain to pull her from the gator's jaws, just before she was dragged under ... "I guess I'll never do that again."

Sounds like they did things right…they had had food in their tents and removed it after the bear’s first visit, and in any case, they were camping practically in town.

But bears have lost their fear of humans and gotten a lot more aggressive (since in most places, you’re not allowed to shoot them anymore).

Was she a democrat? 140 years ago these people would have thought camping out in Apache country was cool.

Bears doing what bears do. Protecting their house.
