[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] boomdeyadah I don't know if it necessarily counts as "close" but about 9 or 10 years ago, I was out camping and hiking on this trail, and me and my family were being stalked by a Grizzly bear that was above the trail on a slope, I'd say no more than about 10 meters were between us and the grizzly. Like we could hear it snapping branches and growling quite cleary. That was some scary -blam!- since I was only about 7 years old.[/quote] I think that would have been pretty scary regardless of age, but I don't know if Grizzly bears are so aggressive to the point where they attack on sight.
