    why would a bear with access to a dear deer, or at least its leg, be interested in someone’s trash? i am not bearologist, but i would think that “dear deer > trash”. is it at all possible someone on the internet is lying?

      They don’t typically eat deer. They catch salmon, and forage for food like berries. Also, deer bone in the picture certainly wasn’t fresh.

      They are constantly attracted to smelly human food and food waste. They absolutely forage through the trash whenever given the opportunity.

      They get deer all the time, maybe he’s sick of bones. But this dumpster is like a loot box for food, it could be anything!
