Dang that's a beautiful bear. I like them better alive tho. So far.
Next to a silvertip, those dark, dark bears are my fav. Still only gonna ever shoot a sivertip griz by choice tho. (My choice- those who choose to hunt the bruins I have no beef with).
Just watched a documentary on TV - Bittner or something like that. Lives with the bears every summer in Katmai, but seems more respectful and less complacent than Treadwell. Give it time, and he too may end up as scat, but some really good footage and lovely bears,within feet of him, by their choice.
