We were about 30 feet away from these bears. We were on a hiking trip when we saw these bears by the creek, catching their food for the winter. There is such an abundance of salmon that the bears get quite picky; they only catch the female salmon because of their eggs, as they contain a lot of fat which the bears need before they start hibernating.
