Today's Bear Pics
« on: May 04, 2011, 08:57:51 PM »
I went for a hike this evening as saw three bears. A sow and cub let me take their pics through the brush and trees from about 75 yards away. The other bear I saw earlier didn't stick around for any pics.

The sow had a very nice light brown coat with darker head. The first three pics are the sow and the last one is the cub.

Awesome!  That sow has a gorgeous hide!

Nice pics. Your braver than I am. I wouldn't get that close to a sow with cubs.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

I seen the cub first at about 40 yards and was real nervous, the .40cal was out of the holster. Once I seen the sow was further down the hill I put the gun away and got the camera out.
