Where's Mama

Yearling black baer cub seperated from its mama by tourist.I got the tourist parted an him back on his way to mama. I had a portable police scanner tuned to the park system and bluffed everyone into thinking I was with the park. My shot was made from the edge of the lane I created for him to walk to the other side of the road.What some tourist don’t realize Mama might come lookin for him which was to there backs. Just because some bears in parks seem aproachable doesn’t mean they want attack unexpectedly.

    Yeah, I’ve seen many tourists trying to interact with baby bears. I once saw someone follow one up a small hill to try to get a better view. All the while I was hoping mama would come over the hill.

    Great image Gary. Crazy story. I’m always amazed at people… how dumb they can be. I’m glad you righted the wrong, though not for the tourist’s sake!

    When I went through the loop, there was a Ranger at EVERY bear sighting to keep tabs on people, and I was glad to see that.
