My other hobby is photography. I had to chuckle when I got my latest issue of "Petersen's Photographic." There's an extensive article by a B. "Moose" Peterson about photographing Alaskan coastal grizzlies. The title of the article is "The Gentle Giants" and that's not just an editor's headline. That description is peppered through the article as is the comment that he can approach the bears to a point that's frequently inside the close focusing distance of his lens.

Do you guys in Alaska agree with that desription for the Coastal Grizzlies or Brown Bears or is "Moose" on the bear's menu this summer???

Telling that story made MY hair stand up. It says grizzlies are smart and determined. If they ignore you it's because THEY choose to ignore you and not because of anything clever that this dopey photographer is doing.
