The tripod leaning up against the pickup truck tells me that the guy being chased as well as the person taking pictures might have been pushing their luck for great pictures of bear in the first place. One of them is very lucky they didn't get the chance to photograph the bear eating something other than a fellow endangered species.

The caption indicated the fellow was a land surveyor. The tripod appears to be a transit or level.

It's not a photo tripod. It's a tripod for a theatolite or other surveyor's instrument.

It says they were surveyers, they usually need tripods.
