The apple core you just tossed off the hiking trail will get a bear killed.
Every single apple core and orange peel left on a trail teaches a nearby bear that human hiking trails are a food source.
In bears, it is almost always fatal. Wildlife managers have a phrase for it: "A fed bear is a dead bear."
Once a bear associates humans with food it keeps coming back. It gets bolder. It approaches campsites. It gets too close to people.
At that point there is no rehabilitation or relocation that reliably works. The bear gets euthanized.
The bear didn't do anything wrong. It learned exactly what we taught it.
This is why leave no trace means leave no trace. Pack it in. Pack it out. Every time.
Take a look at this: People aren't the only kind of tourist. A bear decided to visit the Biltmore Estate on Saturday!

A friendly reminder for those in North Carolina.
It is copperhead season.
This guy was about 4 feet up in some overgrowth in my yard today.
Be careful out there.
i think you really have a problem when the TWO leads talk about the ending of the show like this. not knowing what it meant and visibly upset and disagreeing with it #outlander
It wasn't as bad as Game of Thrones or Stranger Things, but the ending of Outlander left much to be desired. Here's my take:
‘Outlander’s Series Finale Was A Disappointing Ending To A Mediocre Final Season via @forbes https://t.co/Hk5xwlbZoB
Ma davvero ho letto di fan inferocite perché #samheughan ha taggato la sua ragazza in un post? Guardate che Sam Heughan NON è Jamie Fraser, ha una vita privata, così come Caitriona Balfe, felicemente sposata e madre di un bambino. Ripigliatevi! #outlander
"What she can confirm is that the ending to Jamie and Claire’s story is not open-ended.
“It’s definitive,” she says. “I thought they should not leave any loopholes because it is the end of the season and they’re not getting another one, so there’s no point in leaving open possibilities…. well, not leaving many possibilities open.
There’s always some that are going to exist.”
“[Roberts] and I agreed that it should just end very conclusively. And what he did … works effectively.”
And don’t fret, book readers — the ending of the Starz show doesn’t mean the ending of A Blessing for a Warrior Going Out is spoiled.
“It doesn’t happen that way in the book. The book has a completely separate ending,” she confirms.
You heard it here from Herself."
