But now, it’s bears that have the people of the Inland Northwest on edge. Now, you’re probably more likely to be attacked by Nicolas Cage in the woods than a bear, but who wants to take that chance? So I strapped on my flannel and outback hat one more time, grabbed my trusted bloodhound Georgia, and set out to find a bear.
