Yikes. Kind of scary to see a bear in the vicinity .

What a beautiful animal, and although I understand the decisions made, it's so sad to know it did not survive. Thank you for including the link.

Understand why it was shot, but seems a shame such a nice animal had to be. Having said that I would not like to encounter it.

Oh, great capture. I have tried so many times to get a photo of a black bear when I've seen them...best I ever got was the backside as he was running off.
