Man you really need to take the attitude of the anti's at the bear meetings last year. You should have run up and hugged them. They're all like winnie the pooh. Now that thats out of the way, thats pretty scary. Thats the problem and most people that never have or had encounters with bears believe they're friendly, but they are as if or if not more dangerous than a loaded gun. But the sad thing is even if someone gets killed by a bear, the irrational idiot anti's will blame the person and not the bear. This is the reason bear management is in effect.
