The bear put it there......in a manner of speaking......talk to the
bear.

Wolfgang
and, yes, the truck WAS in the woods.

....If a bear does not immediately leave after seeing you, the
food may be encouraging it to stay. Remove any sight or smell of foods...

Um......it probably shouldn't be necessary to add that it's best to wait
until the bear leaves before embarking on this undertaking.

Found out I didn't speak bear. He understood not a wit of what I was
attempting to communicate.

...Occupy a vehicle or building
until the bear wanders away.

Over to you, Frank.

Wanders away? We'd still be there. Time for me to wander away.

The
injury didn't require any medical treatment. Talbot said he cleaned the
scratch and got a tetanus shot.

I still don't understand these two statements.

The bear must have had "rusty nails"......

But isn't a tetanus shot medical treatment?

I'd differentiate between wound treatment and pre-emptive medication, but it's
certainly debatable...

/daytripper (either way, the guy should play the lottery)

Bear attacks 18 year old in Standish
STANDISH, Maine -- An 18 year old who was outside taking pictures of a
black
bear feeding at a birdfeeder in his backyard was attacked and injured by
the
bear yesterday afternoon.



Saw on the news this morning that a black bear wandered into a Franklin
county, Virginia hospital through the automatic doors and began touring the
facility. The news had footage from the surveilance cameras. Some hospital
workers shooed the bear into a room, slammed the door, and then wondered
"now what". The sheriff came, realized that he really wasn't prepared to
deal with an angry bear and didn't have tarnquilizer equipment so he
dispatched it the old fashioned way. Other than the bear, there were no
reported injuries.

For those not familiar with Southwest Virginia, Franklin County is widely
regarded as the "moonshine capital of the world". Don't know who affixed
that label, but I do know that when trooping around those woods with a
friend many years ago, I was advised not to stray too far from the well worn
paths.
