To bad, but once a bear has the taste for human meat you can't take a chance it won't develope a preference.

I wonder if this guy and his girl friend were vegetarians? I've been trying to collect data on my theory that bears and mountain lions seem to be attracted to herbivores over carnivores. It's based on some advice given to me from some old high country residents.

This guy was killed while tent camping in a place he called the Grizzly Maze, a brushy area near a salmon run that was overrun with brownies due to some other nearby runs being slower than usual. There was no reason to kill the bear, as the area is not camped, only viewed by fly-in bear watching groups that don't typically go ashore.

Treadwell was a dope whose actions killed two wild bears that were no threat to humans. The book about it, also calle Grizzly Maze, is okay but not worth buying. I read it in about 90 minutes while sitting at Borders.

If the bear had come down out of the woods and eaten somebody, we'd have a problem. He just ate the nearest thing.

My point is that if the guy wasn't there in the first place, the bear would probably still be eating fish and berries.

I don't know what they were. It sounds like an interesting hypothesis.

Hey, you win the prize! I read he once explained to some schoolkids that he can get so close to the bears because he is a vegan, therefore the bears don't smell him as a rival carnivore.

I would think rival carnivore would be a step up from tasty herbivore.
