| When in Bear Country: “The Actions of Dumb People are the Cause of Smart Bears!” “The difference between the ‘intelligence’ of the bears at Philmont Scout Ranch and the National Parks is phenomenal. The way we do ‘Bear Bagging’ at Philmont, you could never get away with, at a National Park. This is entirely due to the training of the Crews by the Philmont Rangers, and the Crews actually following through with the training. But when you come down to the root cause of ‘Smart Bears’, that have learned how to get to your food, it is not a ‘Bear-problem’ it is a ‘People-problem’, or closer yet... ‘Problem-people’.” -- David Lagesse |
