View Full Version : Spring Bear or Fall Bear??
So all this talk about bears lately made me think of this question. What do you think is worse. A bear just waking up in the spring grumpy and hungry after not eating for several months or a bear in the fall groggy, and who's instincts are telling him to eat as much as he can and get as fat as he can?

Spring Bears....just waking up, groggy, & w/ a ravenous appetite...make hiker go fast & get outta da way! heeheeheehee!:D
p.s. we didnt see a single bear in our recent 11-day section-hike....Darn!
The worst bears are the bears with a taste for pepper spray. ;)
In my experience, it's the fall bear that is only thinking of one thing, FOOD and NOW! They are more likely to raid a campsite because they want FOOD fast so they can go take a nap.

Spring no question. Bear cubs tend to be into everything and were there are cubs mom is close by.

Spring bear weak and skinny. Fall bear strong and fat.
