We have bears around here. No FN way I would stay 20 seconds around one!

[SamAdams76]

Damn paparazzi!

[1rudeboy]

I’m glad that they’re checking the camera. Maybe he got the perfect photo.

[cripplecreek]

Timothy Snackwell’s.....err Treadwell’s kinfolk?

[Errant]

which show the bear grazing and not acting aggressively before the attack

Seems bears may have learned a thing or two about baiting.

When are people going to realize that bears are basically big angry weasels that should be left the heck along in the wild.

Shame is Bear will now be labeled a killer or rogue.

Eight minutes should be warning enough - especially when you are there voluntarily. Different if Bear would have been ‘toying’ with dinner.

But if this dude were like most of his ilk, he holds no grudge against Bear.

“MEAT!! It’s whats for dinner”.

he never heard of Pushing your luck??? guess he found out...

In Hollywood they say “the camera adds 10 pounds” but I think the bear got more than that out of it.

Maybe from an armored up Humvee w/ a Marine idling the engine...and another manning the turret.

A bear can only stand saying “cheese” just so many times before he gets hungry.

[I see my hands]

Men have feelings too, may I share mine with you?

[Perseverando]

He probably tried to run, but alas too late. It wouldn’t have done him any good anyway; bears love “fast food.”

[Revolting cat!]

How did the camera taste?

[Revolting cat!]

The culprit afterwards.

[Hardraade]

See? It got its GRRR on...

[Rome2000]

Sounds like one of those commercials where the genius decides to prank bigfoot.

The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter.
They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge.

Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear’s sensitive nose and it will run away.

It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.

Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.

I just can’t see fooling with something that sees me as “lunch”.
Bet he wouldn’t have jumped into the ocean to get pictures of a great white.....but then again.......
