and will take food from you

but if it was a brown bear or grizzly I would have been slipping in my own

shit to get away

it was crazy sometimes id look down and hed be at my feet like a dog. the first time i almost pissed myself, then we kinda became friends haha

and he didnt just come when he saw me eating. everyday around 12 30 hed show up whether i was eating or not. hed wait for me by my desk and hed get something out of the trash and come over next to me to eat it. or id throw him some crust or something. it was fun. this was everyday for like 3 months, then i got laid off and never saw him again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

black bears are much more dangerous once a black bear attacks he will not stop till you are dead.

have know to people that work with bears that will refuse to be around a black bear

the key for me getting so close. is no weird scents no flashy clothing or jewelry and patiance and sitting down where you are not bigger than him.

i have another pick of him sniffing the back of my head and licking my hand i will get those of the camera tomorrow if i didnt delete them (they were really blurry and hard to make out

i have never given this bear a single piece of food. just leave a 5 gallon bucket of water

You, sir, have balls of steel.

 

[F3RR3T 10+ year member]

heres more pics and the oneof him just before he licked my hand

this pick is just before he licked my hand this proves how close i am able to get and interact

PLEASEDO NOT DO THIS I HAVE BEEN AROUND THIS BEAR FOR THREE YEARS HE IS FAMILIAR WITH MY PROPERTY AND SEEING ME................ THIS IS WILD ANIMAL AND IS UNPREDICTABLE..........ANY INJURY I MAY RECEIVE OR DEATH CANNOT BE BLAMED ON THE BEAR IT CAN ONLY BE BLAMED ON ME. BUT I AM WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THIS IS HIS HOME AS WELL AS MINE AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SHARE IT WITH HIM

[LazyRider 10+ year member]

That's pretty awesome. I probably would've called the police though if it was me though.
