I leave the bike running just to be safe, in any case, most animals will be okay with the noise, it's usually when you switch the engine off that it spooks them, deer are like that, I used to stop and turn the engine off and the deer would bolt, now I leave it running.GFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254196892811043203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-45619000028874753812012-08-09T11:01:42.665-04:002012-08-09T11:01:42.665-04:00Nice bear shot.

I'm glad you took the time to do that though. I'm reminscing about some shots I didn't stop to take. I have the memories, though it it harder to share with people.BeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-11679909606507854862012-08-08T11:57:09.137-04:002012-08-08T11:57:09.137-04:00This was actually taken with my Canon T3i :-)

Whenever I saw them, I was never inclined to stop, take the bike out of gear, dig out the camera and hope the bear isn't wondering what I'm doing....<br /><br />Maybe there is a benefit to these point and shoot cameras.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
