I'll add more to this, but this was the prize shot. This sow was circling us... both her cubs were treed withing 20 feet... my buddies had spray backup while I snapped photos and vid of her popping her teeth, blowing snot, huffing, stamping her feet... Good stuff!!!

Nice photo! Been to that rodeo before. Did she throw in some fun-loving bluff charges and slam the ground with her front paws? If you don't soil your shorts at that point, your colon is in good shape!

You know, two guys were standing behind me with bear spray and i've been in real close to several boat loads of black bears...that I felt pretty comfortable. However...I did notice that I had to rest my cam on a tree or log to get good focused pics!

She did some real short (like 1-3 yards) bluffs and stamped her feet on the ground, blew snot all over the place nad did some great snorting and whoofing... Fun chit...

Here's the baby bear as he's about 10-15 feet away....

Like you, I've filmed a few boat loads of black bears...man, you've got some nads. I respect them and have been very close but when cubs are involved, I tend to move away. They can snap on a dime and all the pepper spray does is add seasoning to your hiney

Nah...she didn't want nothing to do with us...she tried to bluff...and it didn't work...

Scariest part was when I had my eye glued to my viewfinder and she is coming real slow towards me at about 18 yards... and I hear my buddies footsteps backing away!

I was like.. .hey mother $%^#*#$^#'s ... dont be leaving me...you are the ones with the Defense!!!

If I was by myself I would have snapped about 2 pics and headed further away.....
