These photos are real and the bears are wild.

Wow. Will these people never learn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree and apparently not. Back in the fifties my family would camp in the Adirondacks of NY and go to the town dump with other visitors (the locals were probably too smart to go) and watch the bears at night. Used to scare the ever-loving-sh*t out of me a mere child. ;-)

Agree to the disclaimer. Looks like the bear was preoccupied by food or something...maybe the remains of a camper that got too close? Good capture, by the way. ;-)

They have more guts than I ever would. Are you that close all the time Ivan? Looks like one of them is hiding behind the wife.:):)

Do I get that close? I get closer but remember: I am a professional so do not try this at home. :lol:
The reason why I had tourists between me and the bear is I wanted to have people and bears together in one photo.
Thanks Erv.

I was told by a wildlife guide if they attack you, just throw some S**t in their face. I asked what if there isn't any S**t, he said believe me if they attack there will be some! :lol: :lol: :thumbup:

it's how bears always have fresh food available - and no refrigeration needed!
