I’m not sure what’s more nerve racking? Waiting for the conclusion of this story or the concept of going to bed in grizz territory. Im thinking the first one.

You just can't hurry a good grizzly story. TMac...try not to tease us unnecessarily.

Apologies, just getting some pics in when I can.
.
So wow I was excited to have some action so quickly.
.
The bear started moving downstream, while up on the far bank.
.
I started hustling along on my side, trying to keep up, and looking for an opportunity to get in close.

Eventually he made his way down onto one of the willow bars and started digging for roots, moving this way and that.

OK, this is going to be more then exciting, but I am curious....how do you have phone coverage out there? Sat phone I'm guessing maybe. Heck around where I live on the drive to my house I lose coverage. Be careful and stay safe.

I could only see him now because I was higher.
.
If I dropped down to his level on the river, he would disappear.
.
Watched him for most of an hour, waiting for him to commit to crossing the river downstream or towards me. Then I would make my move.
.
Another large grizzly appeared upstream above the river, close, but I stayed with this one. The 2nd bear seemed to be avoiding this one, seemed to know it was around.
.
It was thick in the willows.
.

David- no cell coverage for many many miles. Most folks are very quickly moving to the inreach texting devices for communication, and I had one with me.
.
.
I found a better pic of the bear when he was still on the hillside.
.
As they say, he had a butt the size of Cleveland.
.

.
Willy nilly silly old bear? Maybe. But events later would prove otherwise.

Exciting stuff..........

Here's a short video. He's the dark spot kindof in the middle, and not moving much at all. But gives a sense of things.
.

.
Haven't used youtube before, would appreciate a yeah or nay from someone if the link works. Thanks.
