That ended happily. I have friends whose cameras were munched in similar situations.

What is the bear thinking?

'Hmmm? Let's see here. No peanut butter or chocolate, no beer, so I may as well take this shot.'

or...

'Hey, Charlie! Move a bit to your right, would ya.'

or...

'I think you're going to like this picture!'

:biggrin:

Love it!! I agree you were lucky.. in my case, a grizz in Alaska picked my second camera with a good lens on it out of our ATV and carried it off into the woods, where he dropped it on a rock. Totalled.
