Kahley -
Not urban legend - that comes out of the bear incident reports at 
Yellowstone.  It ranks with some of the other stupid stunts people have 
pulled because they don't have a clue about what "wild" means.  Like the 
woman who wanted a picture of her kid riding a buffalo.

Walk softly - and leave the honey at home,
Jim
