I was briefed last night on the event and understand that State fish and game officers are looking for the now wounded bear since they shot it in the neck and it ran off.

Sounds like NOT ENOUGH GUN to me.....

 

So they had to close the woods down today so they could all search for a wounded animal

Here are a couple of updates:

What a pathetic mash-up of facts and fiction. End result: We have a bear shot and wounded for no good reason, and a bunch of camp counselors who make Marty from "Meatballs" look like Mark Trail.

Well, if your car had a rag top then yes, but if it's in the trunk and the windows are up and sealed, they shouldn't be able to smell it.

 

Putting it up in the trees doesn't help unless it's really high. Plus with campsites the trees are generally smaller and the bears know to go there anyway.

 

Trunks vent to the interior of the car. The interior of the car at the very least vents to the air intakes at the rear of the hood. That is assuming all your weather stripping is in good shape. Bears sniffers are a LOT more sensitive than ours.
