[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Hibernation requires calories. Five Guys ain't just a restaurant name
Grizzly bears run large. Monstrous is an exaggeration. Just keep an eye out for cranky bears at this time of year if you’re wandering anywhere near near country, and make sure your gun works.

#9  Black bears are hungry too.

They are smaller than Grizzly bears but they're more common here in the east. We're in NH and have one in the neighborhood, my wife chases him away with an air horn when he's on the deck. She don't take no $hit from no one.

#6  IIRC Timothy Treadwell was killed by a sub-monstrous sickly skinny bear who was desperate to acquire the reserves for hibernation.

A bear who has nothing to lose is more dangerous than a fat content one.

#2  Yeah, bear spray doesn't always work on grizzlies.

And a note to the city folks, it's not something you use on yourself.
