txdinghysailor Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 [quote name='Saint Therese' post='1815894' date='Mar 24 2009, 11:42 PM']I think it's a mistake to ascribe reasonableness to any animal. They are not reasonable by definition. They don't need "good reasons" to do anything.[/quote] I think that animals are "programmed" to react in certain ways to certain outside triggers. As long as you don't trip the trigger that makes them bite your head off, I'm pretty sure you're safe. Granted, there are certain triggers that we don't know about, but there's risks in everything, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txdinghysailor Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Bears in heavily traveled areas associate campsites with food from repeated visits there. It is scientifically proven that the same bear will continue to raid the same heavily traveled campsite to get food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
