But he looks so cuddley!!!! Pic Heavy
Was able to snap a bunch of pictures of this Grizzly today. If you look at the larger image you can see the moose kill in the bottom right corner. Blood and fur spread out for half a kilometer along the road a couple days earlier.
Drove to within 10 yards of him. It was really amazing. He did not seem particularly scared or bothered that we were there.
I will not give out the location other than to say he is in an area that one would expect to see Grizzly Bears.

Those are great photos!
Please share them in the G Bear survey thread. If you don't want to post the location online, that's cool, but please email Jenn the info at the Willmore Foundation.
Speck, Tree, Newguy, leeaspell, please post up your sightings as well.

I wouldn't mess with him in an open field at high noon! That guy looks scary, I bet you the OP is glad they were in a vehicle, and not at ten yards on foot!

Cool Pics. Man the claws on that bear are insane.
If that bear didn't seem that scared of people, I don't think I would be hiking in even the remotely same area that bear was spotted. lol

I highly suggest that, that smelly BEAR should accompany me at my next visit to the BoardRoom in Edmonton! He seriously needs a decent manicure! Good Gawd, it's 2011 !! Mr Bear, I'll pick you up and we'll go here: http://www.boardroomspas.com/manicures.php
