What a stunning creature! Thank you for sharing your experience.

Very interesting! Love it! Thanks for sharing!

In America there is still some real wildlife left in contrary of most of Europe except maybe in the deep forests of Hungary. I believe humans need these places to connect with nature and Mother Earth and their habitants. If we loose this, we will loose a vital part of ourselves.

The beauty of a natural habitat, up close and personal. Thank you for sharing. You are bringing awareness to us all about our friends The Bears and how they should be respected and left to their own means of survival, in, peace! You certainly are providing an aesthetic voyage. Not only of nature, but, of compassion too. Thank you for a most amazing journey thus far. Peace, Paul

I was fly fishing in Yellowstone when a grizzly came up to my left about 50 yards. A few moments later a bull moose was to mt back about 75 yards. It was exciting but when I had an exit I left.

On our current property we have cougars, deer, elk, bobcat, black bear and eagles. It's heaven on earth and protected from hunters and can never be developed,

The few of us who live there appreciate wildlife. As a youth I lived in the woods 4th thru 8th grade in the summer.

That sounds really amazing. I grew up in Pittsburgh. I didn't get those experiences. That is probably why I go out seek it now as an adult.

[whenyouneedsomeone]

Ohhh, hehe, here i go.

Don't tell anyone, but there are tears in my eyes.

This reminds me of our trip to Alaska, we were so one with nature.

I'm so happy for you that you can make these trips.

I can't anymore because of an illnes but with these videos i'm out there again

what do you do for a living where you can go out into the wild and see all these amazing things.

[aestheticvoyage]

I work as an environmental canvasser, a photographer, and in retail. But I try to make at least one big trip a year. This footage is collected over 4 years.

Love nature and always have respected it. Travel and camp extensively. Some of our population is very misinformed, but the camping and touring majority, treat our resources with respect. Our beautiful National and State Parks are for the enjoyment of everyone. Some Elitists would order them closed off to everyone.. but themselves. Exercise your vote wisely to keep them accessable to all. Thanks for the invite. DaFlikkers

Personally I feel that state parks are the place for recreation, i.e. motorized sports, mountain biking, etc. But for national parks I believe there is not enough restraint, like yellowstone, too many cars too much pollution. We should be allowed "leave no trace camping." But we shouldn't have speed boats or cruise boats allowed in Glacier bay park. Also we shouldn't open any commercial business like logging, hunting, or motorized eco touring. Animals need space to nest and breathe.

[sloopy312]

Amen. One thing we can all do who love wildlife is to write our local, state and federal congressmen frequently. You can also join several groups which promote wildlife protection. By doing so you will get petitions to sign by e-mail or snail mail and you can add your own comments.

If you're worried about the cost of joining you can always enter a lesser amount than asked for.

How ironic. People invade his territory and the bear is considered the nuisance?

He is stunning, and I am glad that he was tolerant of you being around. I love the last shot of him just sitting back looking about.

They are such beautiful creatures, thanks for sharing with us. :D

[aestheticvoyage]

I hate that term as well "nuisance" bear. It is only a nuisance because humans take over their land than expect them not to interact with people around. It should nuisance people not bear..

[PoohBear02003]

Really nice footage.. Great video..

Hehe, Mr. Fatbottoms :D

I don't mind diving with sharks but no way you could ask me to be there with a Grizzly... Thanks you had the guts to bring this awesome footage to us,

[androclestipster]
