I was told by several bystanders, the bear can run up to 35 miles per hour. A good reason why the laws in the Yellowstone are post 100 yards as the closest allowable distance to approach a bear. On several occasions whole herds of wild humans would congregate on the side of the road to view the bears in action. And everyone kept their distance. At least 100 yards.
Except this guy, Mr. Bear Food.
Here we all were. About 50 of us all standing back, well over 100 yards, with our cameras at maximum zoom. And Mr. Bear Food walks farther and farther and farther, finally resting up against a tree no more than 30 yards from the hungry bear. Everyone is yelling at him to get back. He's just smiling away. Mr. Bear Food had no idea how many people had their video camera on trigger waiting for a chance to get a real life bear attack in action. Whom ever you are Mr Bear Food,
today was your lucky day.

I love it!! We were waiting for some fool to tangle with a bull elk when we visited. The amount of stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
This is why I will NEVER run out of business, even when there's a pill to cure everything else.
