Black Bear

We went and stayed and Nicole's Grandma's cabin this weekend with Mitch and Nicole and Scott and Suzanne and their families. We went to yellowstone but that is not where we found this bear. Mitch and Nicole took Dallin and his buddy Hayden for a 4 wheeler ride/hike. While on the hike Hayden and Dallin came face to face with this big black bear (they were within 4 or 5 feet) They yelled bear and ran, Mitch confirmed that it was a bear and took off as well. Later Steve, Scott and Mitch went back to the same spot and he was still there and they soon found out why. He was eating a elk and you can see it in the video. Pretty wild. We are glad the bear was enjoying the elk or he might have gone after the boys.

Wow that is so scary! I am so glad the boys are ok. That was lucky that it was eating so it didn't come after them. Poor Mitch. I would have been freeked out too, infact I would have been running. Ali, I am glad you weren't there to get up close to get a good picture like you did with the rattler. ha, ha.
