Everyone! But the bears tend to be less likely to be wandering around when there is a lot of activity.

Do you ever come upon them when you're in the bush, mal? |

Only twice, late at night (after midnight to be specific). Once outside the kitchen at the dumpster in the mancamp I was at outside Delta, and once in King Salmon walking back to the barracks from the power plant. In Delta, it was a non-smoking camp, so I went outside for a cigarette and the bear whuffed when I clicked the lighter. Think that one was a black bear, but it was dark, he was about 30 feet away and I was in a hurry to get behind a closed door. Didn't stop to exchange email addresses or names even. He might have thought I was anti-social, but I suddenly felt an urge to answer nature's call and decided to forego the nicotine pleasure. The one in King Salmon was further away but across from the chow hall at the old base. I made it to the lobby and watched him from there. DEFinitely a brownie. Much more personable (from behind a closed door) than the one in Delta.
