While photographing two summers ago in Yellowstone National Park, I ran across this angry bear that must of had a bad day. You can tell by his expression he wasn't happy at all. Needless to say, for health reasons (My health) I kept my distance while photographing him. Thank goodness for long lenses!

Great shot........and yes, he does not look happy at all. Being in Yellowstone he had probably had it up to here with people, and looks like he's about ready to rip somebody a new one......lol

When I'm out photographing nature & wildlife, this is what I use to locate critters in the wilds to photograph. From time to time I'll use the sleeper as a platform to shoot from. However the best advantage point is always shooting at eye level. The two pics attached are from a recent photo shoot in Maine. What are your favorite places to photograph?

Well I used to have a S&W 629 SS in 44 mag but I sold it awhile back. I just now replaced it with a Ruger Redhawk in 45 Colt w/ 4" barrel. Reason being is that it can handle the heavy loads. That means it's a bigger slug hitting harder than the 44 mag. Buffalo Bore loads w/ 325 grn. slug at 1325 fps. I was considering the 454 Casull but it was a bit out of my price range and the damn thing kicks like a mule. I can also enjoy shooting cowboy rounds in 45 Colt all day long.
Of course here in Louisiana we don't see too many grizzlies LOL. We do have small black bears but they are rarely seen.

The roof rack I have is made outside of Denver, Colorado by Gobi Racks. No drilling required was one of the big factors why I decided on Gobi. Plus it holds a lot of weight and hinges back so you can raise and lower your soft top.
