I'm wondering if he knocked on the door?
Looked like he was scoping out the truck, bear has good taste.

Dang, makes you rethink taking out the garbage in slippers and robe (and .44)

It will definitely do that. I don’t live in bear country but when we were on vacation in Tennessee and one came to visit, it changed everything in my mind. I had never seen one roaming around like that. After the visit, I was on high alert when outside. How do you guys in bear country let your kids play outside?
You know they are out there but it becomes real when they visit.

that's where i live....probably where you came to visit...they're like giant rats here. if they can get into a garbage can or dumpster they'll scatter the shit everywhere....they've learned how to open most car doors, they get into vehicles that smell like food, and trash them looking for it. every year at least one asshole gets "attacked" because they walk into the woods with food or candy...i don't mean like camping food, i mean they'll walk into the woods eating a hamburger......
but on the whole, as long as you don't mess with them, they won't mess with you

I was indeed in your area. I remember thinking as we climbed the mountain to our cabin, how disrespectful people are cuz of all the trash everywhere, later I found out who the real culprit was. He payed us a visit to eat our trash that was locked in a cage, didn’t matter to him. Lol. I guess you get used to them being there, but complacency could, bite you in the ass, so to speak. I would worry more about my kid than myself. Wouldn’t want to startle one.

it hardly ever happens, and it's even rarer that it happens to a local. guess because we teach the kids how to act. you don't feed them, don't pet them, and if you see a cub, no matter how cute it is, go the other way, fast, because momma is watching you, and she'll eat you if she thinks you're going to hurt her baby...
tourist, on the other hand, feed them, pet them, try to cuddle cubs.....which is why you see the stories in the paper.....

Garbage stays inside until I'm ready to leave for work - never outside!!
As for the .44, I prefer something a bit more extreme.
Nope, the person responsible for the bear must deliver the hide, claws & skull to ADFG - they won't do the heavy lifting.
Fuckers.

Do/can you eat bear meat? I see mixed responses on Google.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with bear meat. Personally i would not eat the meat from a garbage dump bear, but ones from the wild are actually quite tastey.

You can eat it in the spring - it's actually pretty good but it needs to be treated like pork, cooked thoroughly and fat removal is a must as it turns rancid quickly.
The fall, not so much as when they get into the salmon it's like skinning a dumpster full of rotting fish.
I've puked more than once working a fall bear.
