Not sure if this is photoshoped but thought I'd share it anyway.

Not the bigger ones I guess?

In either case, WTF do you do if that's real :lol:

I guess eventually the bear gets bored and leaves?

Assuming it's real of course...

I've only had it for a month and taken it to the range once, but I love it :D

To be honest I didn't think I'd get into the big bore stuff as much, but it's fun to fire ;)

Definitely give it a go if you get a chance. Obviously it's got some recoil, but it's not too ferocious.

Not the kind of thing I'd want to put 100 rounds down range with in a day, but a few shots won't hurt you ;)

Should have it out in the field in the next few weeks with some luck.

Don't know if it's just me or the quality of the photo, but looks a bit funny around the jawline/neck like it might have been PS'd?

There are three indicators that this has been photoshopped.
1. The bear does not match perfectly.
2. Note the light on the right shoulder of the bear, note the shadow on the ground underneath, somehow the tree is projecting a shadow on to the ground in a straight line, but there is also letting light shine right through the tree. I could be wrong though. But it looks like the angle of light is wrong.
3. The person is obviously still alive. Since that is not an adult, (not big enough), young brown bears can actually climb trees and for it to be chasing someone like that, it would be rather angry and just climb the tree after them. Presto dead human. Since dead humans do not post pictures, and relatives of dead humans don't post pictures of how their loved ones died, we can safely assume that this person is not in fact dead.
Therefore it is logical that this photo is fake.

Also, if it was me, I would have a .45-70 for personal protection.
