DH was on the Snake River fishing when he saw a momma bear and her two cubs....Check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjM77JNR-no

Too close for comfort, for me LOL
I didn't know that they would go after dead fish like that.

Wow, that was cool.

me neither. ugh...sounds horrible, doesn't it!
DH was at front of a pontoon boat...all the others in the boat were in the back....and he zoomed in so he wasn't that close...LOL

Where on the river was he?

That is a great video. Thank you.

They were between Oxbow Dam and Brownlee Dam....last week (about 10th or 11th).

thanks for sharing with us, cool momma bear

Awesome! :-D

Very cool.
Actually bears will eat anything that doesn't eat them first. Now is the time that they are packing on the pounds for their winter sleep. Yummy... ;)

I love bears! From a good distance that is. Thanks for sharing this.

We fish the Snake River all the time. I'll be keeping my eyes open for bears now. Would love to see them. Only from the boat of course. :thumbup: Thanks for sharing that.

Awesome video, you were so lucky in so many ways. Not to many would say this but I wish I could get that close to a real bear. I've only seen one in a zoo.

I have a friend who's son lives in Alaska and we get pictures from him of bears by his cabin all the time. And once his daughter was fishing with him and you could see the bears across the river. So cool. CLose to nature. Thanks for sharing. YOur DH is very brave

Thats so neat!

They camped at Carters Landing. The bear was on the other side of the river....however, they found bear poop at the boat ramp!!! Yes, this time of year the bear and the snakes are coming down. That's why don't go there in September!!!!:mrgreen:

Cool.

Loved it! Thanks for sharing.
