Grizz sow and cub

Back in the 80's I used to hang out at meager creek hotsprings a lot, I am sure the Grizzlies would haved loved nice young and boiled humans....

I have about 50 loaded rounds, and about 400 pc of brass. I think I will be okay..

What do you mean you only have 50 loaded?

I'm assuming the other 400 brass are at least once fired and you haven't had a chance to reload them yet... :)

Great pic's glad to see the bears are out but were is the pic of the momma bear starting towards you... ;)
 
After seeing those big grizz' tracks last night, I was trying to imagine sneaking up to get a picture of that guy and I'm not sure I would have "the parts". I am impressed by the pics Gatehouse got.

Those bears can be pretty scary! :runaway:

Probbaly go work up a few more loads, then load them up...

The camera went into the pocket pretty quick at that point...:)

I was out bear hunting the other day, and saw a grizzly feeding in an old abandoned field. that was surrounded by some smaller trees.

So I crept closer, of course...I popped out at the fence line, and realized it was a sow with a yearling cub!!:eek:

The wind was in my favour, so I crept out past the fence, took a coupel of pics (with no zoom on this camera, unfortunatley) and then I felt the wind change.

Sow popped her head up and saw me, I put camera in pocket and started to back away. She took a step toward me, so I made sure the rifle was ready and I just backed out real quick...:)

Great shots. Great Description!

That was quite sporting of you. I have always found it harder to get a good picture than a good shot. Loved your description of the wind change as well.

The hunters I know are some of the best environmentalists around. I wonder if the lowering costs, and increased difficulty of using a digital camera as compared to a scoped rifle for a perfect shot. (Eg: Nat Geo). Might one day convert people who are shooters of rifles to cameras? This way you can shoot the same animal multiple times. And, you have to get closer!

Well done.
 
Clarification for Flameproofing.

Difficulty in getting close enough to get a full frame or similar picture of a Grizz with a camera with no zoom like this, or up to a 200mm or similar given the lighting etc vs. the long shot in an open field with a Leupold VX-III 6.5-20x50. Stalkers will know what I mean.

Well put freedom. I pack a camera along with my rifle. Not everything must die just 'cause we pack guns. I've come home with photo trophies as well and felt just as good. A true outdoorsman is measured by his/her exposure and an appreciation of our wildlife. Great shots by Gatehouse.
 
Totally. 100% agreed. I wasn't saying everything must die by any means. Even the best photographers, like Adams, some friends at the Geo, and many hunters and "shooters" I know have always said: It isn't about the...(insert/gun/scope or camera here)... It is about knowing your subject.

I don't know how many pictures I @#$ed because I hadn't learned the behaviors and patterns yet...

Another good example is when people develop in skill and are serious outdoorsmen and they begin to remove the scopes, go iron sighted, and do multi days on foot. THen the lower the calibre, forcing themselves to make better shots, etc. I was thinking if you take that kind of hunter and trade him a camera for his rifle... (no, he should keep his rifle... Bears, Poachers... etc.)... He would be hooked.

How are you with a long rifle? Will trade photo video lessons for guiding. LOL.
 
Great thoughts but many may have an issue and that is many hunters would be saying too you that they can't eat those pictures and for many hunting is the way they put food on the table...

"WOW" did you ever miss my point...

Never said that anyone couldn't afford to buy store bought meats many hunters choose not too and prefer game that they have shot themselves knowing that the game they harvest is not full of growth hormones and chemicals...

Myself included but then again I'm not a city slicker...

I *think* what Camp Cook is saying, is that hunters shouldn't be to keen on saying "a photo is as good as a dead animal"

Simply because that statement could be attacked by antis, and say "if it's all aboutthe hunt, the chase, why not take a picture, instead of shooting?"

For me, and most of us, I would suspect hunitng is about the challenge, the time outdoors, the adventure, the meat, the "trophy" and also...pics of animals- Whether we wish to shoot them or not.

It's important not to give the antis any "catch and release hunitng via pics" arguments

Eaten everything shot. Except targets and other unedibles.

This guy's a troll. Doesn't even know the significance of the name Cukier. Name was changed since it contained blatant spam. ww.freedomfilm. c o m was the first one. Could we have another "Ottawa Greg" in our midst?
 
Yep... the mods changed the name due to the fact it was an URL. Having discussed the rules, I asked them to change it. In discussions about new name now. URL for name... He must be a commie!

Thanks for the welcome by the way. You are bringing lots of attention to the spam as you call it.

Many have actually contributed to very intelligent conversations, and I have even learned a few things.

Like Cukier... I would look up a name you might not know having been out of the country and issues for a while... But clearly you have google.

After all you had been reading Cukier's papers on Gender and Information Technology apparently.

BC Mike, can I borrow your tinfoil hat picture?
 
I wonder how long until the grizzlies get to the north shore mountains of Vancouver...I predicted abotu 5 years ago that it would take 10 years. I bet it's less....:dancingbanana:
