Two of my three Yellowstone bear encounters. We came in through the east gate from Cody and saw a line a car stopped and there was a Range and I said what’s going on. He said there’s a grizzly with two cubs up the hill but can’t see him right now.
So I get my binoculars and I start glass 200, 300 yards up the hill I walk down the road and I see people start pulling out their cell phones and I’m like what are they looking at and then I look up and there’s a cub on a log like 40 yards from the road I’m like oh crap and then she stood up And took a look at everybody gave us snort and then disappeared in the grass, and then slowly walked away up the hill .
Of course I never had my phone on me. I left it in the truck when we drove away I was like I should’ve got my cell phone. I know better my kid goes. Oh I took a picture of it through my phone. Dad , he’s never in the woods. But he gets all the credit.
And then our second bear was asleep under a tree about 50 yards off the road and I had him bring his phone and get a picture of that one too , the last beer we saw was a cub , 35 to 40 yards off the road playing all by itself. I don’t know if mom was dead or she was asleep up the ridge or whatever but there was a Ranger there and crap ton of people watching it. I never did get a picture of that one..
