Saw this guy between Cody and Yellowstone he was standing in the middle of the road when we came around a curve. Went and jumped the guardrail and started chowing down on the chokecherries that he could find. The first grizzly I have ever seen in the wild.

Congratulations on your first bear! I've been trying for years with no success, though I've only made one trip specifically for bear photography. In several trips through the great bear rain forest, I've only gotten stories from others who "just saw bears yesterday" and when I go to the area where there have been recent sightings, nothing. Frustrating, but I'll keep at it when I can and I'm confident I'll get to photograph both brown bears and kermode bears before I hang it up.

Nice shot, the bear is more intent on the chokecherries than you. I like the dusting of snow.

This guy was a total surprise dang near ran into him coming around the curve. By the time he stopped, he was maybe 30yrds away from me and my car was 10yrds away so I was pretty confident I could get to my car faster then he could get to me. He pretty much ignored me so I felt ok stepping over the guardrail to lean up against a power pole to get the shots that I took.

Nice shot. Congrats. I've seen a lot of grizzlies since moving out west 5 years ago, and have gotten several photos, but nothing this year yet. Like Morris said, a lot of them out there, but they are always hit or miss as far as seeing them. I find Kananaskis Country here in Alberta the best spot I have found for spotting grizzlies.

Congratulations--what a thrill and how great it was clear of obstacles so you could get a clean shot. The touch of snow is a nice accent.

Thanks for posting.
