Little punks outa show some respect regardless. Or do you consider this "living in harmony with wildlife"? Notice comments are turned-off on video? $20 says they knew the bear was there, and decided to get their YouTube moment with GoPros. I hope the Wildlife Dept guys can track this down and arrest their punk asses for harassment.

Bluff stuff that scares folks happens often enough with moose and bears. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back.....
