I live in a semi-rural area in SW Pensylvania. This morning I heard a noise in the bedroom and went to investigate. In the open window was the head and paws of a black bear. In his attempt to climb in, he managed to pull a pillow from the bed, and drug it outside.

So I yelled at him: "Get out of here." He just looked at me. So I yelled a few more times, and he finally left. THEN, after the opportunity had passed, I remembered that I was a photographer. All I could do was to grab a camera and take a wide angled snapshot as he wandered into the woods. Now I feel stupid for chasing a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity away. Oh well...it was still a pretty cool experience!

I shoot film--not digital. Not only that, but I shoot black & white exclusively. (see my website) I process in a machine and usually wait until I have 30 rolls or so to make it worthwhile. The lousy picture that I did manage to get (I think) isn't worth rushing my schedule.
Picture or not, it was a cool thing to see!

Wow! :eek: What a story! I don't blame you for forgetting the camera; I'd have been screaming bloody murder.

We have black bears around here, but they don't bother anyone that I know of. My dog barks at them from her fenced in yard and they usually just wander away. I only saw one four times since I've lived here.

Keep your camera handy in case the bear comes back. I bet you'll be prepared next time! ;)

If I saw a bear trying to climb through MY bedroom window, I'd shoot him back out of it with my .50 AE Desert Eagle! :eek:
 
Shoot it ? I think I would of lassoed that bad boy and rode him around for a few.

Based on your new avatar, I don't think you'd need a firearm. The old one looked friendly, but this new one looks scary as hell. I believe any bear would turn and run...:D
 
All you really need to do is to put a Dark Ops knife on your nightstand. Then they'll know what a covert, sentinel-removing, blood-spurt suppressing, deanimating, tactical BADASS that you are, and inevitably leave you alone.
:D (I kill me)

He had probably received one too many of those unsolicited Viagra email offers! ;)

Right outside our bedroom window a couple of weeks ago. I'm thinking maybe
it was a good thing my window was closed.
