Bear with me (pics)

Here's some photos I took last weekend on a fishing trip up to the Sierra Mountian range here in California. My son and I were able to sneak up to 12 yards of this boar......if you're looking for a P&Y bear, here you go. Hope you enjoy.

12 YARDS!!! Are you freaking nuts? Just for a photo. Were you packing heat with ya or do you just have stones?

Awsome pics by the way.

Great shots. Roy that is pretty close, the wind must have been perfect. Did you have some spray if he chose to come after you?

Thanks guys.....it was definitely fun sneaking up on him. No, I had no sidearm or OC Spray.....just "stones" that were indigenous to the land I was currently standing on. You know me, I always like to take a walk on the "wild side" when I'm in the outdoors.

Seriously though, I've arrowed quite a few bears over the years....one HUGE bear at 5 yards......and they aren't as fierce as most think. As long as it's not a sow with cubs (very dangerous), most will change zip codes in a second when they either see or smell you. This particular bear, I had the wind perfect.......once he came up by me (downwind) he was about 8 yards away! He blew out of there faster than a coues buck would. Was I worried? Heck know, I told my son as long as I could run faster than him, I'd be fine. (j/K)
