Boomer attempted to raid our campsite during dinner. Note the outhouse in the picture. Pete was heading for the privy area to dispose of some chicken broth when he spotted this "tiny" critter. As Pete hollered for bear spray, rocks, sticks, ANYTHING, Renee hollered for the camera, and Karen guarded our dinner. The ranger estimates Boomer to be about 300-350 pounds. I dunno, but he was able to take a bag of garbage off the outhouse roof without using his feet. That's over 6 feet tall! Unfortunately for Boomer, he is entirely too acclimated to people, and that is never good for a bear. I have heard that the NPS is trying new tactics to change the bears behavior... sure hope they work.
