This is a classic example of a real dumb move! Leaving bait in an aircraft in Bear Country is about as stupid as a one legged man entering a kicking contest.
Here’s an interesting story found on Paratrooper.org.
During a private “fly-in” fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler and bait in the plane. And a bear smelled it. This is what he did to the plane.
The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic. He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME!
The shredded aircraft.

Two things in life you always need: Duck Tape – for things that should not move and do! And a Hammer – for things that should move but dont! Love the story!
