I think that would be UMA - "Ursine Male Adult". :lol:

I hope that pic was taken with a looooooong telephoto lens - or from a safe location, like inside a running car which was positioned for a quick getaway! :!: I can see a little shadow at the bottom right of the pic which looks like it may be a car window ledge.

And that folks is the reason camping has never been big on my list of things I gotta do. Now,throw in a 40ft. Motorhome with all the stuff needed to "rough it" like a shower,big screen,stove/oven,A/C and running water.... and i'm in.:lol:

That picture was from about 15 feet away, halfway inside a running truck.....I had a closer one (from a little less than 10 feet back), but it didn't come out. There was also a little coyote that was messing with the bear trying to get some food too, and at one point he spooked the bear while I was standing all the way out of the truck......that got me moving pretty quick- for the most part the bears up in Tahoe are pretty scared of people, despite coming in close to get into garbage, so as stupid/crazy as my adventures sound, I was relatively safe the whole time......much safer than when I run into methed-out whackos in the woods.....I should start taking pictures of them....

Whats it eating? a small child?

Stick to the bears - they're much more predictable! :smile: I'd rather deal with a bear than some whacked-out tweaker any day.....the bear doesn't carry guns and isn't going to give me hepatitis, HIV, scabies or any of the other nasties that dirty dopers enjoy "sharing".

:lol: The daytime guys overloaded a dumpster to the point where it couldn't be locked....so they get to do some cleanup today before I come in to work. Not a small child, just some garbage.....this was actually the same bear that found it's way inside one of the on-site manager's apartments while he was away on vacation.....he had a hell of a greeting when he got home the other night. He turned a corner and almost got smacked with a bear paw before running back down some stairs and jumping in his car....

Holy crap that bear is huge! We used to have them where I lived when I was a kid...they just sit in the road...
