Here is the coolest Hero Shot I have seen. This is my good friend Jim Irvin from Carbon Synergy. He has been hunting black bears on the ground in a ghillie suit the last couple of years. This bear was as close as 3 yards from him.
Very nice pic, bear hunting is something I have always wanted to do, hopefully here in a few years I can do it in the northern part of the mitten, or the UP for that matter.
