I was hoping that someone would post a sighting experience. Osprey's was perfectly typical, "almost light very far away about 500 yards". In low light at that great distance that could have been a tall African American hunter in dark clothes, if you are truely certain that it was not a black bear. Yet you now believe? Significantly, bears can and do walk on their hind 2 legs for a ways, especially if they smell people in the distance, in attempt to see better. This I have wittnessed more than once out in the wilds. See how these figments grow into perpertuance.
