nice pic - would make a nice rug !

That looks like a big one. Whats that in the background? it looks like a building of some sort. If so, that's interesting that a bear would be that close to a building in the broad daylight.

Everyone seems to think theres something in the background but there really isn't. This picture is from a camera I put wayyyyy out there. I had to walk a few miles back into the deep woods. The kind of special place all hunters love. I sure hope to see more of it though. He looks like a beast of the forest.

[Doc]

Well, it fooled me too. That sure does look like the wall and roof-line of a barn or something. I can sure understand why it would make people think it was a building. Do you see what I am talking about in the picture? What the heck do you think that might be?

[thetrigger22]

I absolutely see what you mean. The terrain in this area is covered in small ridges and valleys. I believe the back ground catches a peak in a ridge and the horizon behind it forms what looks like a roof to it. The ridge does have a pretty straight line to it though. I had a few other friends tell me it looks like a lion is behind the bear over its shoulder. haha

WOW! That is a beautiful bear!! Do you bear hunt?

[Doc]

My Gosh!!! Now I see the lion (in the top picture, right over the bears shoulder where you said they saw it). What a weird picture! ;D

Unfortunatly it is illegal to take a bear where I live in 6A or I would pursue this animal. The boundary line to where it is legal is about 20 miles from me. I get the sportsmans license every year and it comes with a bear tag that I get to stare at all season. I'm starting to question the ethics of just writing in a different zone on the tag with the amount of bears I've been seeing the past few years. haha

Great bear!!!

Pretty sure if he/she came lumbering under my deer hunting stand I'd no longer be Scent-Free!!!!! ???

[burmjohn]
