Kodiak Bear- Kodiak, Alaska
I wish I could say that I was unconcerned, But in reality I felt pretty much intimidated by these Bears, although shy in most cases, you never want to get one startled or angry in any way, Of the 40+ Bears we saw that day, ten came pretty close to our hiding place, only two found out we were there, one ran away and the other one did a false charge into our spot, being young he never followed thru, just stopping short by some 20+ feet; Most bears did not know we were there, we sat downwind from them and not even the camera click was heard, but when the winds died down the trouble started, by then we were done shooting and on the way back to the campground!!, It was wild to say the least, most of these bears have never seen man up close and the guide wanted to keep it that way!! No humans hurt and no bears shot!! Just a little scary for me!! The smallest must have been 500+ lbs at least!! No technical at present!! Any and all comments welcome!! [b]Alex Calzadilla[/b]
