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?

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.
