121-You are for sure right about the fat salmon soaked browns in the summer. The last thing they want is to stop feeding to chase a fat old fisherman. I just think lot of people put way too much worry into being prepared for the ultimat encounter when 90% of the real stories you hear the bear has his way with the people anyway. Lions eat on people every year yet we sneak right by them in the dark for elk and carry only a bow. The lion is watching and he choses not to get you. I guess I' m a little fatalistic but I think if your time is up it' s up so enjoy all and don' t worry. Maybe bears like the taste of pepper on their meat.
