Please do not feed the BEARS!!!
No I really mean it!
Here is an example of exactly not what to do:
No this is not my camp, this was a neighbors camp that became a well stocked Bear snack bar.
Please, Please do not do this! Bears that get a taste of human food like this become camp site menaces. Once this happens they often have to be trapped and re-located or even worse, they are killed all because someone can’t take the time to clean up their camp and keep food in bear safe containers.
Please visit these sites for information on camping with bears:

Hey Rene,
This bear was around allot, we saw him more than once. The picture was taken in the late afternoon and this was at the camp we went to after leaving you at twin lakes.
I have some good bear pics, I will email them to you. Hope you guys are having as much fun as it looks like you are on your blog.

Hi there,
I write for The Wildlife Professional magazine, the member magazine of The Wildlife Society, and we would love to use this photo in our magazine in an article about how humans can influence bear behavior. Would you give us permission to use this image? We would need a high resolution file and would of course credit the photographer.
Many thanks,
Katie
