I spent an amazing night this week in a hide in Martinselkonen wilderness center near the Russian border in Eastern Finland. 7-8 hours of almost continuous flow of brown bears, 20+ visible at the same time at best.

Thanks jeff and Mike. Truly something I never forget. If you ever have a possibility to visit Finland, don't miss this opportunity.

Glad you liked these. The hide we stayed is for 12 visitors, each having their own viewing opening. A picture of the hide: https://www.martinselk​onen.fi …-photography/large-hides/ (external link)

Two more pictures. :-)

Question for Alaskans, will the new extreme hunting rules apply in all national parks, or just wildlife refuges?
