Bears eat everything humans do and then some. They eat constantly and food is the main driver of their behavior. The hungrier they are the more damage they will inflict to get food. This bear is unseasonably aggressive, probably because there is little grass to eat due to drought, and too early for acorns.
Bears eat mostly grass, leaves, berries, and nuts since those are easiest to get. But when we want to trap a bear, a honey roasted pork shoulder is the attractant. A bear can smell it from a mile away and they literally throw themselves into the big trap and the steal door slams shut and then you can view a bear, a very disgusted bear, up close without any danger.
The bear did not come last night. We decided to wait and see on the trap.
