This bear looks a little scared to me. Take a moment and brouse my galleries for some bear claws of a bear Jim had to shoot at the BBF Country Inn because it was eating all the scraps from the restaurant kitchen and running after the maintenance. I don't want to give people the impression they are all mean, but sometimes unusual circumstances happen and cause the bears to get into trouble. Jim Gourleys Dad,Leon,& his Dad James lived in Cades Cove. Cove

fantastic capture! I am a bit afraid of bears. I am glad we don't have that many strolling about where I live. This must have been too close for comfort, at least if i was behind the camera.

Very impressive. Event with a 1.7TC, I would not feel very comfortable!

Nice shot, Buz! I've never been this close to a bear (yet). I really need to get a good telephoto lens! V

Very nice shot, but dangerous... unless you took it from inside a vehicle.
