The problem is not unique to Philmont. New Mexico certainly
had serious bear problems last summer. The New Mexico Game and
Fish Department takes such things very seriously.
Some links to records of bear incidents at Philmont or nearby
can be found at http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/philmont.html#2.4.7.2
