A couple scouting for fishing spots along the Lamar River surprised a bear as it was feeding on a carcass. The grizzly was not happy and in no mood to share. He charged at them and came within 9 feet.

But, the couple was prepared and able to diffuse the situation. Can you guess what they did? If you've read any of my bear posts, I bet you already know. Click the story to read about their scary encounter.

The bear is perfectly fine. Nothing will happen to him as he was only defending his food. The couple did the right thing to protect themselves and the bear. =]:)
