After I read the article, I came away with a differing take on the information. Like any information, reading, interpreting, digesting it all depends on individuals experience, philosophic outlook etc.

Although I did not agree with how the writer crafted the story in general, I like to think that the experts quoted in the story whom have years of real world bear behavior experience, vastly outbalances the "armchair experts" who over the years on various websites and forums (including here) have posted very bad information with little in the way of real world experience, and do not provide links to accredited research, sources etc.

That said, off for a hike in a few minutes. In some of the low lying areas around here, a few bears are already out of hibernation and we may be fortunate to cross paths (from a safe distance) of mamma bear and her new cubs.
