wait for a bigger bear.

[Mikey]

well if the grass aint deep ... that bear looks pretty young tho ....see space between ears .... I would hafta say that I concur with MA and Sniper .... Wait for something bigger than whats in my daughters bedroom now

Well if the bear were bigger, I'd still wait for a broadside.

Hey, is that a pot crop the bear is in! :wink:

I would wait for him to turn broad side then take the shot.

I would pass.... unless it was a nuisance bear....... Then he would get one between headlights!.....

those who passed made the right call, while this bear had one of the nicest coats I have seen...it was so shiny black it was almost purple....unfortunately he was a 5 footer on his best day. As far as the shot...he offered several good broadsides at 35yds in fact he never did leave...we left him still eating in the grass.... so for those that wanted him, a little patience would have given you a nice broadside shot.

Either way, it's a good photo.

:lol: all things considered, no to the shot. one to small, two , could have been a cub hunkered up under mama or in th"happy cabbage" :sunnyy5: , and three just poor animal positioning.
