A friend of mine told me that he and his wife got fined for feeding the bears honey rolls while driving through the Smokey Mountains (North Georgia). While I agree it is stupid and wrong to feed wildlife (other than birds :-), he really didn’t know better because there wasn’t any signs or other ways he would have known. The rangers didn’t care. It was more money for their parties or whatever they use ticket proceeds for.
Yeah, well this guy had a brand new ticket book just anxious to use it. BTW, I have a relative living in Newnan just outside of Atlanta.
