Bears prefer salmon to humans.A creek full of fish was nearby so attacking a human would be a waste of time.
But you do not want to invade the bear`s private space.
Thanks.

i'd have thought the bear would consider 6 feet to be in its "private space"... :shock:

As long you are not in a rainforest where long lenses are totally worthless.

I used to have a love/hate relationship with eagles and it took me several years of hard effort to get the 1st decent eagle shot.It takes patience and some strategy,if somebody tells you Alaskan eagles cooperate with photographers do not believe it.Thanks.

I apologize for doing three bear topics so close to each other.After this one I am going to give bears a rest for a week or two,I do not want to be labeled as a specialized bear photographer. But many more are lined up in the queue.
