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.

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.

Sounds like the bears were actually keeping him as a form of livestock! Bears aren't dumb.
