Buddy the Bear(text heavy)

[KimC]

I Just loved this story Dan -- I actually shared it with my brother who has a fondness for wildlife. As for the images, they are spectacular as always.

Now that I finally got around to reading the entire text, my delayed gratification was amply rewarded; every word of it was riveting.

I know what a D810 can do. It would have been interesting to see what a 450Kg bear can do....
Dan you have to go back - you select who with - a tax investigator?

Some lawyers, TSA agents and the IRS are the most hated people on earth here, maybe, just maybe they will change their attitudes if they go to a wild hunt with photographers for grizzlies. I'd gladly read any of them go on a freelance... (I don't mind the Aussie equivalent of the TSA though...they are nicer, helpful and friendlier...)

Thanks for all the comments, folks. Glad you enjoyed the story and photos. I hope to never be nearly so close to a bear again. Or any large wildlife for that matter. Birdies. I'd love to be able to get that close to the little birdies

Interesting that the feeling towards tax collectors hasn't changed in 2000 years

If I had said mother-in-law how many thousands of years would you estimate?
