there have been many incidents where people had mistakenly thought they had seen a bear, when in reality it was a sasquatch.
im betting the same in this instance.

Yeah, but I am hoping for a Bull Market. Any one out there with a scenario where it could have been a Bull?

Maybe it was Yogi.

I saw cellphone video of that bear last nite on the local news. He was at a Walmart.

Alpharetta bear. Yeah the Wally World is near the intersection. Figured the bear knew about the sales on honey, peanut butter and hot wings WW was having so decided to stop in to take advantage of the sales.

Bears ought to not go where they don't belong..... which is anywhere humans don't want them.

especially in their own habitat we keep infringing upon.this doesnt happen with sasquatches.

woods holes shelter 11 pm pack with no food,,hung on outside wall..bear removed pack from nail hook on outside wall.may 26 ...
Unbelievably found pack 6 am next morning..no damage...not even to the loop of the pack...about 150 yards away...

Bears smart in georgia,,,must have lifted it clean off the nail..
Henry from boston...

Need info to contact ron and son12 years old,,,from south carolina
son's name ..........isiaha

repeat...bear was sighted 10 minutes later as it returned to the shelter once again (henry wilgo) boston

bottom line guys...
bear was a large black bear...seen by witnesses and pictures taken..

guessing bear was attracted by scent from a used mountain house food pouch,,,unconsciously put in side mesh pocket of backpack...
" and that is the rest of the story...henry from boston

Henry, did someone actually see the bear carrying the pack? If not, then while possible that the bear took it 150 yards with no physical evidence on the pack itself, it is much more likely that a person ran off with it.

and, losing their "bearings" just couldn't "bear" it any longer and dropped it when confronted by a "real" bear>
