tell the rest of the story old sport that I am only a bully to other bullies on other forums and I also happen to be 75. - Boon Docker you jumped to wrong conclusion and missed my point that there is always those who jumps to the bears defense regardless of the horrific circumstances of the attack on humans. They always say bears are a part of nature and have a right to be everywhere and do what they want and I say we humans are also a part of nature and have a right to enjoy the great outdoors in relative safety. I happen to love black bears but not the super deadly grizzlies.

I don't see the humor here. I'm I missing something?agesilaus wrote:
There were three people in the party, two in one tent and the woman alone in the other. I did not see anything about food one way or the other.
Yes, the news article noted that they were first all awakened by the bear and after they scared it off, they moved food out of their tents, then went back to bed. But it came back.NamMedevac 70 wrote:
The poor poor bear was disoriented, hungry, having a bad hair day and as always angry. They can easily run at least 35 mph and are top apex predators. Some folks including a federal judge wants to reestablish them in California, Colorado, etc so I heard a year ago. Kids are like yum yum candy to them I suspect. I never camp or fish or hike where I have to look over my shoulder constantly and always scanning 360 degrees.
I am constantly in black bear country but not concerned as I carry spray and heavy duty iron for. Mountain lions and rattle snakes are more of a threat to my personal safety than black bears IMHO. Never encountered one in many years of outdoor activities in PNW states but prepared for the eventual happening.
I enjoy being a bully to the bullies on another forum. Cheers

My heart goes out to her family.- There were three people in the party, two in one tent and the woman alone in the other. I did not see anything about food one way or the other.
- I think I read she was not alone, but alone in the tent. Also something about keeping food in their tent. That's the first rule of tent camping where there could be bears or any wild animals, no food in tent... Too bad she wasn't more aware the precautions.

Brave fellow campers IMO. 2oldman wrote:

OK you got me on the case. I went on the mention of the park in the article, but still not a wise area for tent camping.
