Just looked at this article in my Fox News App.

The picture I "screen shot" with my phone is worth a thousand words:




Can't even imagine their reaction if they turned around.

The bear wanted the fishermen's beer, not the fishermen's bier.

Better be careful on the back cast.

It amazes me how some people are oblivious to what is going on around them.

I was on a flight last week to Vegas and half hour into the flight a woman stands up in the aisle and she looks very agitated, is shifting all over the place, looking towards the front and back of the plane and the exit door a row away from her and acting somewhat erratically. She could have just been uncomfortable or maybe even a little claustrophobic and this is how she was dealing with it but what amazed me the most is how most people around her and throughout the plane never even gave her a second look. In fact most people just ignored her.

I'm not a paranoid man but I certainly kept an eye on her because you just never know.

Bear... Y'all catching any?
Fisherman...No, how bout you?
Bear... I caught a small one down there; I think I'm gonna try by the rapids upstream.
Fisherman... Good idea, see you later.

One guy has his ears covered with a hoodie the other does not. So you have the sound of the moving water but it doesn't appear to be rushing. A 600 or 700lb bear can be stealth enough through the brush and the rocks and still get that close to you without being detected. My head would be on a constant swivel in bear country knowing they are most likely fishing in the same area I am.

This guy got snuck up on too.

Notice the shotgun in bottom right of the frame.
Guy should been kicking himself in the pants for leaving the gun on the ground - but they were probably filled with shit already Smile

It probably was threatened by them. My guess is it wanted to get some fish and they were at the river bank so it was just being careful...bears are so smart.
