No. Lol. I was within camera shot of a bear at Lassen NP many years ago, but he ran when he heard the sound of my camera lens opening. Way back before cell phones.

Living near the mountains, spotting wildlife isn’t unusual for many Reno residents — but one homeowner says the bears in her neighborhood have gotten a little too comfortable.
Kathi Scott, who lives near the Steamboat Ditch — a popular corridor for local wildlife — says she’s used to seeing the occasional animal wander through. But lately, her fences and other deterrents haven’t been enough to keep visitors out.
Her friends even gave her a nickname: “Goldilocks.” Why? Because she’s had a baby bear, a medium-sized bear, and a big bear in her yard in recent weeks.
Lol. Good nickname. I think the bear in the pond is hilarious so I stole it for the avatar.
