Yeah, I did read it correctly--but only after I had clicked Send! Sorry
'bout that.

In fact, I think our positions are not too far apart. I also want to instill
some fear in the bears, and I do that by yelling rather than shooting
steelies, which can cause serious injury. But my first priority is to take
away their reason for coming into camp, and canisters seem to be the only
effective method at this time. (If/when the bears figure out that they have
to carry a coin to open the canister, we'll have to come up with something
else.) Fear alone isn't going to keep them out of our camps; look at the
efforts they go to now to get a nice freeze-dried meal.
