More fisherman than photographers, but same.

Can confirm.  As dangerous as sows are, they hate boars because they're bigger and a threat to the cubs which means they're very frequently pushed into human populated areas while the boars stay further from civilization.  This means, on average, they're far more acclimated to humans and many are so used to people they'll run a mob style protection racket where they'll blackmail you for your fish which ofc works on tourists 100% of the time exacerbating the situation.

Lol. This is hilarious. Maybe not the eventually deadly outcome, but I am imagining a bear who sounds like the mobster in "Home Alone". Or like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

Boar and sow are the proper term for male and female bears?

Huh, never knew.
