I bet he wouldn't have eaten you, he's smiling.

We were just walking and he came out of nowhere. We were not trying to get close to him. We had bear bells on and we had some bear spray, my wife was holding the spray cause it made her feel better. He stared us down for about 10 to 15 seconds and then moved on. I had positioned the girls behind me and had them put their hands up in the air and make noises. We had practiced so they knew just what to do.

Yes TOO close! I only snapped the pic when I felt he was going to leave. He had been on the other side of the tree.

Could have lit an Acid and he would have left faster......

Nice you had the presence of mind to snap a pic.

Close one dude!

That close? I'd have been lucky to not be wearing poo scented underwear!

That's a really nice pic and definitely a good story to tell in the years to come.
