Those are not the facts as I read them a few months ago. 3 tents with
people in them were attacked late at night. All of the victims had their
food properly stored in bear boxes in the camp. The tents were not
adjacent but quite spread apart at different locations. The bears
attacked for reasons not understood.

> that is the incident I mentioned in an earlier post, Scott.  Two people were killed, attacked in their tents.  Mama and two cubs, cubs were older cubs.  They were relocated.  Mama was euthanized.  Mama had been guilty of camp raiding before.   Too bad about the two people, but too bad about the bears, too.  They were punished for trying to make a living.  At least the guys had committed a crime (they had food in their tent, a regular old on the ground tent.  In grizzly country.
