The bears are captive and I ranged from 20 feet to 50 feet. So it was very safe, although I did see one idiot photographer that climbed the fence and shot from the fence. I guess he forgot that a woman was pulled through the bars and eaten by a Polar Bear at the Anchorage Zoo a few years ago. She wanted to "get closer" so she stuck her point & shoot through the bars and the bear did what comes natural, he ate. It seems that up here in Alaska, the "Bear Experts" from outside the State and tells us about bear behavior and then proves themselves wrong by getting killed by a bear and then we have to kill the bear because of them. So I am a self impossed "bear Non-expert" and I am alive and they are not. LOL Thanks for your kind comments about my photography PC.
