  • why are you letting a bear eat your food? youre supposed to yell no bear when they show up. plus since the bear ate the food, philmont staff will have to kill every bear with in a square mile of that location.

  • @marchoftheducks well, like i've said in past comments, if you took the time to read them, the bear walked up on us eating lunch. we yelled, and it was still about ten feet away from us and coming closer. the bear had lost it's fear of people, and we also ran into some philmont staff that was actually out looking for this bear since it was a problem bear.

  • I hope they didn't have to kill it... When I was there this year they said if bears start getting in people's food in staff camps then they have to kill the bear because it will associate people with food and become dependent and dangerous.

  • @mctaylor24 this bear was a problem bear. this was it's third offense getting into peoples food in the middle of the day. they probably did kill it.

  • You are a group of morons. If all you didn't just stand there and go look at it you might have been able to scare it away. And walking that close to the bear just to get your stuff was even more stuipd. You were lucky that the bear didn't attack you for your stuipdity. Next when you see a bear it is not a Kodak moment. You guy were lucky that the bear didn't hurt any of you for doing the frist stuipd mistake leaving your packs alone were bears and mini-bears can get to them.

  • As a ranger, I never saw a bear that was that brave. If the food wasn't left alone I suppose there never would have been a problem. Oh well. It's a pretty cool story regardless.

  • @hikerguy92 hey those mini-bears are the freakin special forces of the camp

  • i was a 2011 ranger and i saw 11 bears this summer but none ever would aproach the people like you explained. stand your ground and throw rocks i garantee you could have saved your lunch. did you listen to what your ranger had to say?

  • haha we need to take pictures

  • Haha this is great. That dude had some ballz going up to get his bag lol. "I got a rock, I will throw it at him."

  • @usnavyman1 Doesn't change the fact that they're morons...
