I am 100% for bagging and hanging food even outside bear country for my protection and the bears. If the post is asking how likely is a bear to come after your food if it isn't hung then I would think it is likely to happen.

I just find it weird to be laying there worrying about deodorant I forgot to hang while smelling like beef stroganoff. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I am surprised to hear that black bears can't smell the food on clothing as easily. You do learn a lot on this forum which is why I like it.

Thanks for the story dkramalc that would have scared the crap out of me too! It is nice to hear real experiences like that.
