Title: How Close is too Close?
Post by: Brushbuster on May 28, 2015, 05:09:55 PM: Ok this is one of those things you remember for the rest of your life! So I'm over in Idaho on a Solo DIY Spring Bear Hunt. It was early and I was tired today so instead of checking my bait I drove down the road and parked by a gated road and took a little morning nap. I awoke to a scratching sound and thought it was a gray jay on the roof. It was this guy:

Figured he was last year's cub and recently out on his own. I let him walk but I really wanted to get a color phase bear. :dunno:
