He was on our side of the stream, probably about 120 feet from us. And just like that, I got scared. We were a long way from the car and it’s a lot different to be standing near a bear in a field, instead of watching it from a closed car. Randy and I quickly and quietly walked away and downstream. When we were about 300-350 feet away, we found a place where we could clearly see the stream. The bear was a juvenile, 3 or 4 years old. He splashed around a bit and caught a salmon without too much trouble, then walked up the bank and sat down to eat it. We watched him for a while and I got a few pictures - not too clear, but that was as close as I planned to get. This was such an amazing experience - can't wait to go back!
