Franchi, I think most bears in PA are pretty well conditioned to human encounters?
I'd have to agree with the 'conditioning' idea. Wildlife that is actively hunted has a natural and healthy fear of man. When we protected the alligators down South for 20 plus years, the big guys lost all fear of people swimming or boating. They'll follow the boat 'helping' you release Snook in some of the back country bays in the Everglades National Park. Same thing in Billy's Lake in the Okeefinoke. Gator attacks have increased dramatically...Geo
