Re: [Philmont]: Where is the end of the smell trail?

How many undesired bear contacts are there at Philmont in a summer?
The standard treks, alone, create something like 20,000 trekkers,
times 13 nights, or 260,000 camper nights.
 
When was the last fatal bear attack? I assume that they're running at
much less than one fatal attack per year - is that a correct guess?
 
If this is too sensitive a topic, please feel free to respond
off-list.
