“Slowed down to check out some bears on the way into Montana. Kinda goes without saying but, friendly reminder: don’t fuck with mama bears, or any mamas for that matter.”

Gnarly footage taken from a car driving down a Montana road observing a momma bear helping her cubs as they struggled up a steep snowbank. Calvin Barrett found out afterward that slowing down and continuing towards bears is not best practice and can actually provoke charges (grizzly bear top speed 35mph). Keep that in mind if you ever come across a scene like this:

“For future reference I’ve been informed that the way we approached the bears, slowing down, and invading their space is not safe nor respectful wildlife viewing practice. So if you find yourself in this situation be sure to stay back and give any wildlife a chance to move out of sight before moving forward.”
