Description
This is an image of a large boar black bear at the Shute Wildlife Sanctuary in Orr, Minnesota. The black bears at Shute are completely wild and come and go as they choose. Shute is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
This large black bear like the other males can weight 500 pounds and in some cases even more. The large bears are usually quite docile. The younger smaller boars, like teenagers, can have something to prove but are safe to be around if a photographer uses common sense. I have photographed at Shute many times over the years and it is always a fun and exciting experience being around these bears. When newcomers first show up, they are usually very apprehensive about being around the bears. This is due to the fact there has been so much misinformation spread about bears through the years. By the time their workshop is over, they are very comfortable and actually enjoy being around the bears.
