Bears become a problem when they realize people have food. The bears in the area of our cabin in the cypress forest found out that we have food stored in our cabin. We loaded up all our camping gear onto our swamp buggy and headed out to the cabin. As we got close to the cabin we saw that a bear had been in the area. We past by three cabbage palms that had been shredded by a bear.
Bears love to eat cabbage palms.
A bear will climb up a cabbage palm that is about 10 or 15 feet high. We could also see bear tracks in the middle of the swamp buggy trail, heading for the cabin. Knowing a bear was in the area, we continued to look for the bear. Little did we know the bear had already been to our cabin. When we got to the cabin we could see that the screen door had been torn off.
