Narrating the incident, Conley said they had left snacks inside the vehicle because they had not yet had the chance to unpack. "We didn't have a chance to unpack the truck yet, so of course, we had snacks in there, and they just helped themselves to granola bars, beer and Crunch ‘n Munch," she said.
Couple Tries To Chase The Bears
Seeing their supplies disappear was very unexpected for the couple. They reportedly attempted to approach the bears and scare them away, hoping to stop the sudden raid into their belongings.
However, the animals were not particularly interested in giving up their newfound food supply. The encounter served as a reminder that approaching wild bears, even when they appear occupied with something else, can be extremely dangerous.
Black bears are omnivorous animals and have an exceptionally strong sense of smell. They can detect food from considerable distances, making unattended snacks, garbage and other food items particularly attractive to them.
