I have spent many years with bears, where you were and all over Alaska. You should let the bear come to you! You should not be that close to the cub. Bad manners. Again, if they come to you, different rules.
You were WAY to close to those cubs. First, that's illegal to approach that close, it's one thing if the bears approach you, but you can't move in like that. Second, you were lucky mom was in a good space, if she got wind of anything she'd have taken you out. That was luck, not something to put on here as a typical experience. And before you come at me, I'm a wildlife photographer in Homer and work for one of the bear viewing companies.
Agree to your broader point. But here is some context, the cub approached us and our guide made it little too close. He also said the mama bear comfortable with him as they keep seeing each other in the bay.
hey anirban, this is one of the nicest bear watching tour I have seen on youtube. Thanks for putting it.
I was a bear viewing guide on Kodiak, been to Katmai many times! Glad you got to see “ real Alaska “!
I added the info to the description now. Thanks for giving us a great experience of lifetime.
This tour was with Scenic Bear Viewing out of Homer AK. How do I know? That’s my plane and I am the pilot/guide.
I will continue to see Kodiak island and Anan creek outside of Wrangell.😳

Going next week and I cannot wait. What month was this video recorded?
Amazing place and video :)

Absolutely agree, reckless and irresponsible

Hello! What dates were you there?
August 2021
Is it me or are these people invading the space of these animals? It is not appropriate at all in my opinion
i like to do this but this cost over a grand - no thanks. i cant afford it.
