Maybe they’re going for a Darwin Award.
It’s better to let them win one.

Just about every shop in Gatlinburg has bear souvenirs for sale. The bear probably felt comfortably at home

Yea, Grizzly bears are. Black bears like this one are basically big rodents.
We’ll be camping this weekend in bear country. Never, ever ever take any food in your tent.
Anything that is smellable needs to be locked in the car, hung in a bear bag or in a bear proof container. (bears know how to open car doors. I know guys who found out the hard way)
In grizzly country, all food prep and eating is done far from camp. Change clothes at the food area before bunking down.

Bears are actually very good messengers of nature.
They tell you,
“Nature don’t give a shirt about you.”
And then the bear eats you.
Always good to remember that.

I was born and raised on the edge of the Smoky Mtns Nat’l Park....Been around black bears my whole life...never had any trouble with them...Camping, fishing, hiking....
If I went camping in grizzly bear territory, it would be camping in a motel......

Well, a hunter here in michigan about 6 years back now, sitting on a stump, heard nothing. The black bear came from behind and clocked the man. No bites, big bruise. Estimated weight of bear right around 200 lbs.

Tourists visiting Gatlinburg think that the wildlife is part of the Chamber of Commerce provided attraction. They assume the bears are pets and available for selfies.

Six years ago. Billions of hours of people in Michigan forests since then.
You kind of made my point. Black bear attacks are pretty rare.

Nah, he was probably looking for what was left of his long lost uncle. He could smell him somewhere.

Bear just wanted a nice pancake breakfast and some fudge to take home to the wife.

Maybe it’s a sign that the country is going into a bear market!

Can’t imagine having to warn people to steer clear of bears. Do some idiots think they’re dealing with Yogi and BooBoo?
