ExhibitPlus 756 Grizzly!, Yellowstone, WY -- I came across this momma grizzly and her cub just as I was leaving the park. I got to within about 100 feet of her but kept the car between us.  Another guy there was half that distance and hunkered down -- which is perfectly fine photo-wise, but a really dumb move bear-wise (tiny target means easier prey)!  I mention to the guy he may want to back off some, noting that momma already had her hackles raised.  I also point out that if she decides to charge him, he will want to say
