Just had the coolest experience of my life. We were on the back deck watching a possum and a huge black bear came down the hill into the back yard of the cabin. Got him to come all the way to the deck. He even stood up and was looking at me thru the railing of the deck. I knelt down to get a picture of him while we were dam near nose to nose. Picture didn't turn out the greatest but I will share all the pictures I took
