thanks guys, I agre bears are just cool ass critter
I have been very lucky , I have a ton of experience with bears, lived near and known well, one of the greatest bear experts in the world,Mr Gary Alt, I help tag a few bears with him yrs back, and I have had numerous folks that
like it or not, fed the crap out of bears, so I have fed many wild bears out of my hand cookies and such
wouldn't suggest doing that , but its something I have done
I also live in a bear rich area, besides winter time, its not uncommon for me to see then a few times a week, and they hit the bird feeders daily if I fill them
and I agree nothing like the rush and thrill of having one climb up a tree your in
once had one climb up and lick one of my boots
exciting and defenietly something you never forget
but bears are courious critters much more than agressive think your food types
sure they need respect, but there just big strong animals
not out to kill you! 99.9% of the time any how LOL
