 Does that mean you live in the wilderness? 
  
 I don't have a clue about bears. but I would imagine that there are 
 certain habitats that bears are drawn to more than others and that 
 these habitats are known and studied and maybe mapped.  It just seems 
 like common sense to me. Isn't that so? Go ahead and educate me about 
 bears.

 Mmmm..  Can't say I fancy it, but we're all different.  :-)
