I've been told this is a female, my sexing of Grizzly Bears is marginal at best.
This bear is getting a little too comfortable with people and if they catch it on the trail they may haze it. That's to say they shoot firecracker rounds at it or beanbag shot/ rubber bullets.... so the bear is a little more fearful of people. They don't want it to get into trouble. We all know what that would mean.
It was awesome to get this footage, the fish are just about done running so they may be looking for hibernation spots soon. Hopefully, before she gets herself into trouble.
Where's the video?
ReplyDeleteHi Matt! that video is amazing! You were so close to the bear. how is everything going in Alaska?
ReplyDeleteAlthough more dangerous, your neighbor is vastly more interesting than mine. Are you going to brave the winter up there?
ReplyDeleteI was just in Portland and ran into Pete Leary at the airport.......its a small world after all!
