This is Tim Haberberger. Tim and his wife Cindy operate the Box Y lodge for SNS’ spring and fall Wyoming bear hunts. A bear hunting expert, Tim is constantly working on setting and checking bear baits during the fall and spring hunts.

Earlier this month, Tim was checking one of the baits. Suddenly, this visitor popped out of the woods, only a few yards from Tim. As you can see in the picture, Tim knelt down and stayed very still. The bear actually came up and licked his hat before Tim hollered and scared him off.

When it comes to spring and fall black bear hunting in Wyoming, SNS Outfitter & Guides specializes in close encounters with big bears. But this was perhaps a little too close, even for Tim!
