Whow!

That was a telephoto shot I'm guessing?

100-400 tele

Thanks for your remarks. Telephoto yes , but I had to zoom out, because the bear was rather close, probably 30 yards. Best regards, Charles Baxter

Do the math...

A human can run about 10 mph (16 km/h) and a large bear over 30 (48 km/h). How far would you get if the distance between you is 150 feet (46 m)? :-)
