Title: You mad bro?
Post by: 2MANY on January 22, 2020, 01:00:25 PM: These pics are from back in the Polaroid camera days.
A buddy and I decided to pressure this bear in a meadow.
We wanted to see if there was any truth to the whole false charge thingy.

We learned a couple things.
1) When you get close enough......they will charge.
2) It's hard to take a clear Polaroid when they do.
3) I can run faster than my buddy.
4) This time, this bear, preferred to eat grass over human.
5) Attempting this again never made much sense.

You should listen to the WA Wolf/Grizzly re-introdution supporters.

Remember predators only take the weak (and slower than you) from the gene pool

Reference from 2Many's post "3) I can run faster than my buddy."

Post by: TRD1911 on March 02, 2020, 10:24:36 AM: Easily one of my favorite posts on here. After multiple close interactions with bears while archery hunting (that turned tail and ran away as fast as possible) this is a good reminder that that will not always be the case. Beautiful bear too.

What was I just saying?

Never mind.
