| Near the base of Seward's Mount Marathon trail this bear was looking for lunch at 2:30 this afternoon. Bear was not afraid of me. At all. Not even a little. And Bear was checking out anything and everything that might conceal food. Including me... Yesterday a state trooper told me they have had to shoot some bears that became too aggressive with people after learning to associate them with food so when the only other person around suggested we try to chase Bear away I joined him in yelling, clapping, and stepping towards Bear.. Clapping seemed to be the most effective and sent Bear on its way back into the woods. The man threw a few rocks and hit Bear in the rear right hip just before it disappeared into the trees. He believed that would help ensure that the bear associated the picnic area with a memorably unpleasant experience. Although I did not like seeing the bear actually hit and would not have chosen to do so myself, I think he is right and I'd much prefer the bear be hit with a rock than a bullet! | |
