[at-l] Bear kills boy sleeping with family in large tent

[Linda Benschop]

When we were charged by a bear near Low Gap a few years back, I suspect 
it was because the bears associated us with food.  Some "last chancers" 
left packs with food out in the shelter.  Our problem was immediately 
after the boys left.  After that, we never stayed near a shelter where 
we knew those kids were.  I believe it is human carelessness that causes 
most of these attacks.  BTW clicking Leki poles together usually scares 
them as it is a foreign noise to them.
