George,
I mean no disrespect, but take a look at my video when I get it on here and tell me how scared this wilderness bear is of me as I approach to ten feet, OK?
I'm going to have to go with the expert I hunted with on this one, who says he believes wilderness bears are NOT afraid of people, with his 30 years of experience guiding bear hunters in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
In fairness, it may also be said that bears habituated to people, through feeding, may ALSO have lost their fear of people, so perhaps that is what you meant.
If that's the case, then I believe we are both right.
Big, I tried to view your video, which I think is the one where Jill was filming as you tried to recover another bear? It said I needed a new flash player, so I downloaded it, and now it still says I need a newer version than the newest one I could get from the Adobe website. You ol' technology guru!!!!!!!!!!
