Stupidwithpointandshoot.jpg

Some people have a death wish and cheat natural selection. This guy was one of them. This is a sow grizzly with a cub. She had just moved across the road after having a run in with a boar. I'm glad I was standing well clear with a very big lens. Yes this is a big crop. Here is the sow with her cub http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/34374632

Canon EOS 10D ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
1/500s f/8.0 at 195.0mm iso200 full exif

I see this stuff every time I go to yellowstone to film grizzly bear. Bears run so fast in a short sprint, the man would'nt have seen it thru his view finder on the camera..... By the way GREAT PICTURE....

I dont see any pictures of a bear chowing down on a man, so I guess he got away with it? Perhaps you cropped out his guardian angel...

Saw this and had to look at it a nother time...

Great image and capture...

The lens compresses this a bit...So how close was this guy actually...and I too want to know did he live?

Great photo of what not to do when one encounters a bear. So did this guy get out alive?

OMG, what a moron, how close do you think he was from the pic it looks like within 20 feet.

Geez! What an idiot. Did he try to pet it too?
