Do u have like somebody looking out for you and warning you?

If u do see something do u leave ure expensive telescope and get into a car (large telescope about 1,4 m high and over 25kg)

or do u take ure telescope and shove it into the car as fast as u can,and u hope u dont brake anything

Just tell me ure opinions please :D

It is pretty rare to see them where I live (but they are around), I imagine getting in the car, sounding the horn and flashing the lights will get rid of them though. Or just fire some warning shots if you have a rifle with you ;)

I think your as likely to damage the scope as the bear is if you rush to pack it in the car.

The bear could nock it over though...

I think I would just let the kit fend for itself and get to the car as quick as possible.

I can relate to this a little. On safari in Tanzania, I did do some observing but the camp was open so anything could have come in. Made it tricky to concentrate really! I love the hobby, but not worth getting eaten for ;-)

I had a Hedgehog sneak up on me once. I dropped my Nagler 31mm on it and managed to get in through the french windows unharmed. Close call though  :shocked:

I was happy to leave the kit to take it's chances with the beast. Turns out it was a Meade fanatic and I don't own any of those so it moved on to another garden.

LOL  more funny than realistic :D

Meades are good and celestrons but overall you should make ure telescope urself if u want a really good one with really good quality stuff and so on.

How common are the brown bears and wolfs in this wooded area and how likely are they to attack? Would a whistle on a neck cord not suffice?

Forgive my ignorance but where exactly is Cudkovska Dolina?

I had a close encounter myself with wolfs in Northern Norway a few years back, though they weren't in themselves a threat, the marks men hunting them in a helicopter could have been though, had they mistaken us when skiing through the trees for the wolf pack.

Here in the UK the only predators I am familiar with are midges. Its other people, if at a remote spot to be watchful for such as if a group of poachers armed to the teeth turn up, or here in Northumberland you may unwittingly find yourself close to the route of a military night training exercise - but really no threat at all.

Nice picture to.

I'd find another observing spot , if you knowingly put yourself at risk then you shouldn't be too surprised if that " risk " materialises.

Expensive scopes are only " things " and can be replaced and my main concern given your scenario would be my own personnel safety .

A little common sense goes a long way ( if your blessed with that skill )and a Darwin Award is not a good epitaph.

VERY carefully :smiley:

But the best strategy would be to get yourself in the car first and use it to try and scare the bear/wolves away. Kit can always be replaced.
