I did not know that moose could read.
Went to Yellowstone in 1956 when there were plenty of bears stopping cars and scratching paint while begging for food. I favor today’s bear management over the past as it’s better for both man and beast.
In 1978/79/80 I helped the NPS and the Wildlife Department of the University of Tennessee conduct research on the population and health of the black bears in the Smokies. I don’t miss them and really don’t care if I see another bear. They have claws that make the large cats’ claws look mediocre.
Someone asked the visitor’s center here ‘when do the deer turn into elk?’
In fact they get a lot of questions like that.
‘Was that a boom Box?’
Thought it might be a camera - video or otherwise.
Oooh. I could have fun with that one. I'd treat it like alcohol. They have to be 21, but it used to be 19, until the Feds changed the law.
Moron must think he’s vacationing at Jellystone National Park and he wants to see Yogi and Boo Boo.
Having had another look - it’s a boom box -
That is hilarious-people like that don’t have the sense to be allowed on a hiking trail or in any other natural setting-for their own safety, they should just go to the zoo if they want to see bears-it’s cheaper, too...
It looks like one camera of a two-camera set-up was snagged by the bear, and during the blurry part, they switched the view to the second camera to capture the bear gnawing on the first camera.
Great thread!
Well, it went by so fast, couldn’t tell. Those darn beers will eat anything.
Camping in the Smokies one year back in the day, our campsite got a midnight visit by bears. Now the packs were tied up in a tree, but the next morning, we discovered they had loosened the knot enough to lower the packs into their reach. Mine had most the food, and the rope was tied onto the an aluminum crossbar. Bear + weight = broken aluminum. Spent the morning walking up the hillside from camp picking up clothes and such.
Discovered a can of Ravioli that looked like it was shot a few times with a .22. The damn can was bone dry, no food residue whatsoever inside.
How the F* did he suck ravioli out through those holes!
Reminds me of Bob Newhart's monologue "The Khrushchev Landing"
The big fellas are ALL over up here this year. Gorgeous Animals to view.....from a long distance of course!
Hey, I didn't know that Idiot Joe Biden was at Yellowstone!
LOL
Given the way my son used to devour ravioli, I fully believe it to be possible.
she could easily go to the woods to see if the bears shit there.......
