His team elected him for the position of "point and shoot" camera man trying to persuade him to step outside the vehicle so he could get a better shot. Thank goodness common sense prevailed and he elected to take whatever shot he could get from the safety of the truck as he wasn't 100% confident ole' mama wouldn't eat him if she got just a little hacked off.
In addition to this photo, he sent me one of a sign they have posted in the area. Grab the title "Don't Have a Bad Bear Day". It is a helpful hints if you will for the six different types of bears you may come into contact with...you know the wary bear, the curious bear and lets not forget the I am going to eat you because you are there bear!
I don't know about you, but I think I would want to be very familiar with this sign before entering any area or park where bears are freely milling about. I would hate to have to ask him for a "time-out" why I took a few minutes to discern what his/her mood was at the moment and then act accordingly!
All joking aside today alone he saw a pod of Beluga whales, moose, bears and much more. Considering I get over the top excited when I spot a ground hog or deer, I think Alaska just move to the top of my list as my "have to see" vacation destinations.
This one is out and about on a major highway. You can spot his head right at the back of the yellow pick-up truck. This road is located about 1/4 mile from the airport. This fella must have been running late...slow down Bullwinkle no airline runs on time anymore!
