I turned the corner around a building and he was only about 20 yards but both of us were suprized by each other and he darted into the fence row. I waited about 10 mins and he came back out and I got a quartering away shot on him!

Ground Grizzlies are fun......and Challenging!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
