Lucky you didn't shoot him cause that could make him really mad. My advice is to clean up your camp in bear country.
I read this thread and thought it was kinda interesting. This post though sounded really strange. How did he INVITE the bear? The original post said the bear was trying to chew through a gas can on the back of a ATV. Where did it say anything about leaving coolers or jugs outside? A gas can full of fuel wouldn't be something I would think a bear would smell like food? Are you saying bears want to drink fuel? Or are you just asuming this camper didn't know better then to leave things outside the bears would break into?
