Occurred on June 1, 2022 / Waskesiu Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada
: "I was out photographing a bear from a safe distance when it caught scent and sight of me. Normally, I'm used to black bears running away when they're aware of a person but this bear was behaving oddly. It came towards me and followed me even after I stood my ground, shouted, and waved my arms at it. Luckily I had bear spray and prepared myself to use it if the bear charged at me. I slowly and safely started retreating back to my car and after a couple of minutes of it following me, I decided to start filming. The bear continued to follow me and was getting closer. When I was in a good position with the wind at my back and the bear coming close to me, I sprayed it with the bear spray. Thankfully the bear spray worked as designed and sent the bear running away."
