Not knocking ya but, I think I'd be looking for a tree limb or rock or something besides my camera. Then after he left I'd go change my pants.
I had my camera around my neck, I was just lucky to get a good pic

Great pic.....great story....

Just looking at the pic gives me a bit of anxiety. I have seen bears from afar in the wild, always with a river/lake between me and them....and even then I was a bit uncomfortable.... I could not even imagine how I would feel with one 15' away....

He was just looking for you to hook up a BOTL with a smoke... (Bear instead of Brother).

Nice pic, Kirk. Thank You!!! I'm happy you guys are all safe and sound!!!

Big news here yesterday. About a mile up the road, a bear was chasing a pig around.
The whole world was after the bear trying to dart him or shoot him. Must have been one special pig.
I can't make this chit up.

Cool pic! It's Smokey Bear, he won't hurt anyone, he was just following you around to make sure you weren't flicking hot ashes on dry leaves.

Super cool! Black bears will leave you alone unless you really piss them off, glad you had the bear spray but didn't have to use it! Now, if you see a brown bear that close, you might want to be a little more cautious!

Cool, you found a real Teddy Bear!

Seriously, I'm glad things turned out good for you and your family! Bears are awesome to see, but scary when you see them up that close and personal!

wow that must have been scary!

we had one wander across our lawn a couple weeks ago - probably 50 feet from our door - but we were inside at the time. makes me worry about letting my 2 year old daughter play outside alone though even if I am watching through the window!
