Speaking of Bears, Holy Moly!

Found this on another forum and just had to share this clip.

You thought you had nerves of steel?

I have to change my mind. I thought it was a tame , playful bear at first. I looked again and there is a cub up a tree during the first part of the vid.

I highly doubt it was faked.

Bears can be weird. They know they can kill you if they want to...but they really would just rather be left alone. All the bears I have ever encountered have been content to go their own way.

They do piss me off when they come stumbling through my backyard though.

Good catch, I would not have seen that in a thousand years if you had not told me

When my buddy was hunting in Africa two years back he got charged by an elephant. His guide told my buddy not to fire until the guide fired. The ele stopped the charge about 7ft away and the guide said "that was a mock charge." My buddy asked how he could tell. And the guide replied "he stopped didn't he". Balls of steel....
