On a September 2020 bucket list trip to Katmai National Park in southwest Alaska, I was able to spend 20+ hours with countless Coastal Brown Bears who were focused on bulking up for their long winter hibernation. I was with a very experienced guide, along with another guest who happened to be a professional photographer (he taught me so much and my photography skills improved tremendously over the course of four days). The bears we came into contact with couldn't care less that we were there - - they would walk within a few feet of us and only give a sideways glance, as they knew we were no threat, and their sole focus was catching salmon. This particular bear ("Scarbutt") was very busy fishing... then he happened to turn my way as he was scanning for fish -- the intensity in his eyes was incredible! My heart raced with excitement as he continued walking toward me, then suddenly veered to the left and pounced on an unsuspecting silver salmon. Worst day for that salmon, but one of the best days of my life!
