Title: Bear Pic
Post by: Hornseeker on October 05, 2009, 09:27:25 AM: 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!!!

Post by: Hornseeker on October 05, 2009, 02:53:25 PM: 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! :chuckle:

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...

Post by: bow4elk on October 06, 2009, 11:25:50 AM: 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 :chuckle:

Post by: Hornseeker on October 06, 2009, 02:11:34 PM: 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! :yike: I was like.. .hey mother $%^#*#$^#'s ... dont be leaving me...you are the ones with the Defense!!! :chuckle:

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