Instead of bear spray and camera, he should have reached for his AR-50 (AA Beowulf .50cal w/ 425gr FMJs). I take mine plus the Kimber 1911 .45cal along when I’m out in that setting.

...the grizzly finally spotted me from the movement I was making while going after my bear spay and then my camera

I'm surprised he lived to tell the tale.

What a waste of time. Going for view hits only here. Watch the past couple minutes for the bear. In such instances, I route for the bear as I hate to see them killed because of some tree hugger. Far more humans than bears.

I’ve seen youtube videos where a black bear walks up into a back porch and a house cat gets all shreky at the bear, causing the bear to high tail out.

Bear’s just protecting his house.

Grizzly bears are never friendly.

They might be tolerant, curious, not overly excited, or down right dangerous.

But calling them friendly is just foolish.
