[QUOTE="Swampster, post: 5433827, member: 589"] Generally true, but there are places along the Appalachian Trail, especially in the Smokies, where many bears have lost their fear of humans. 3M+ hikers on the trail, with many improperly handling and storing food, has caused some bears to associate people with food. You can imagine how much worse the National Park is with tourists intentionally feeding the bears to get a photo. Bears are by no means your top risk in the wild but are something to consider in some areas. [/QUOTE]
