Joe, rest assured that you handled it correctly.

Also, I would be very careful about the "wild" animals you find in parks. They are typically dehumanized and can cause a lot of trouble. I camped once on the Pacific Coast in a little park where the deer and racoons were so tame that they would come into your camp and start eating off of your picnic table. In the morning, just before heading down to the water to do a little abalone diving, I noticed that every campsite that left out an ice chest had that ice chest turned over and dumped out on the ground. In spite of the warning signs that say don't feed the animals, you still find folks that feed the cute bears and wonder why they break windows and scratch cars and tear up campsites looking for food. I would prefer to camp away from parks where there are a lot of animals roaming around...is a natural danger sign that something isn't right with the ecology of that place.
