Bear hunting.

Water Warrior 2 · 07-17-2011, 04:05 AM

We went for an afternoon drive to shoot some black bears. Camera only of course. Kinda rainy and very overcast so the bears were out in numbers for a fresh moist salad of greenery. We saw all sizes of bears from a hugable cub to a really really big one that scared the life out of us. Didn't get a pic of the big one as Lynda didn't think we would meet a bear in town and charging across the street to get away from the traffic and noise.
Anyways, here are a few pics of various bears and Lynda using a decent digital SLR with a nice zoom for close-ups.

Down here we go alligator hunting.

The last 2 pics are in Wakulla State Park where they made the Johnny Weismuller Tarzan movies and The Creature From the Black Lagoon. Lots of gators there.

Cool shots of the bears WW. I've never seen a shot of the ski jumps when they were not covered in snow. Cool pics all around. Looks like a nice outing. Glad the big bear didn't get you.

mrlmd1, I never knew that's where they filmed the old Tarzan movies, love those Cypress trees. I don't think I'd want to swim anywhere near that big lizard with teeth in your shot.

Do not pet the gators ! Do not pet the bears. Do not pet another man's wife. All 3 will be cause for concern. LOL.

That sounds like a good start to a country music song.

LOL. I have been known to listen to Garth Brooks and drive a pick up.

That's like "do not sweat the petty things and do not pet the sweaty things".

Sorry, had to post that.
