It's obvious to me that the pic was taken early in the am as there was no direct sunlight, which hits the canyon pretty dang early. The two bears we have this season are first time visitors to this canyon, highly obnoxious, unafraid of people and have already charged a few area campers and even some dogs. It should be good hunting when the bear season opens for hunters. The two we've had this year are much bolder than we've seen in the past, possibly transplants from Yosemite.
