Tom Reichner gave me an idea. There are lots of pictures of bears on here but he commented on a photo that showed the bear viewing experience. SO I went through a bunch of my photos and collected photos of bears and people. This first batch is from Mikfik Creek in the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary.

Now we're moving to Wolverine Creek. It is kind of a madhouse out there. From what I hear the fishing guides have kind of taken over. I don't know if I would even recommend going out there anymore. I was out there in 2004 and 2008. These pics are from 2008.

This thread is amazing! By the looks of it, man and beast know their boundaries between one another.

That is the secret to survival, according to my guide. We must remember that it is their home and we are only visitors.

Love the images, Drew. Takes me back to my trip (my happy place). Thanks for sharing.

All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.

All those are fantastic images ! Showing them with photographers makes them even more popular ! I would think about adding some of them to your art gallery for retail sales .
