My closest look was from inside a (canvas walled) pop-up camper while mom & her cubs tore open an empty cooler looking for a meal. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. If ANY sign of a problem with humans arrises the animal is quickly relocated. We've been within a few dozen yards of a mother with cubs. That was close enough. We have followed a large male into the forest but never found it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
