After an unsuccessful day of trapping bears a co-worker and I were heading home when we spotted a mom and two cubs in a clear cut near the highway. I stopped the truck and we bailed out to chase the cubs up a tree, with the hope of keeping mom around long enough to dart her. In other words, purposely putting ourselves between a mom and her cubs. The plan worked perfectly except for the dart deciding to fly a different direction than I had intended.
Here's a cub I spotted in the forest. It scampered up a tree as well, giving me some good photo ops. Mom was no where to be found.
Here's a close-up.
