[at-l] Bear Repellent

[greyowl at rcn.com (greyowl@rcn.com)]

I have never ever seen a bear backpacking or day hiking with 
a group of people as generally everyone is making way too 
much noise.  My backpack (an external frame) makes all types 
of noise.  On the other hand I have seen plenty of bears when 
I hike without a backpack.  I am much quieter.  Aggressive 
bear?  Must be talking about Jersey.  Have never seen a 
Jersey Bear (Seen plenty of Jersey Girls, especially at the 
mall).  Now that ehy are hunted they are not all that 
agressive anymore.
