Are bears the new ducks?

Almost like ducks. Do you always have to shoot them?

"As long as it is with a camera!", the irate Alaskan animal lover growls, referring obliquely to recent decisions by "Wildlife Management" officials to gun down and snare bears and wolves which compete with out of state money from big game hunters for moose.

But to answer your question, being that bald eagles are like ducks here, my answer for me is "If there's nothing better happening at the moment....who knows, you might get an amazing interaction that you would not have otherwise."

Speaking of interactions, and this cute clip .... where's Mama?

Here's your Alaska ducks and mom. Yes I was talking about shooting with a camera.

Of course....with a camera. I'm just sad at the results of the decisions here.

Nice flock of ducks! I see Ma looking a bit scrawny....is this spring?

Here's another of my bear/duck shots that there was no question about as they left the den.

do bears sell a lot is the question? because ducks are probably the #1 selling thing on here.

Exactly. But....are you NOT going to get a bear shot? It's not like if you look up from your busy corporate shoot where you've got greenscreens and models and assistants and lights and whatnot and you see a bear chasing a duck past your location, you might not be able to stop and shoot it, but if you're keywording or hiking or whatever you might as well.

Actually, if we based all of our "to shoot or not to shoot" questions on what sold lots of, then we might be paralyzed by this info, and end up in the same category as those who go through life thinking "Why bother? We all die in the end.."

Everyone know that ducks sell better than the next 10 best sellers combined. But bears are people too and want their "fair share".

Only ducks around, no bears (polar) here.
