Big Bear Refuses Back Scratch

Occurred on 2022 / Vernon, New Jersey, USA

Info from Licensor: "Living in the country has brought me many opportunities to study and photograph the great American black bear. Several bears have accepted me as part of their clan. These bears will run from any stranger or any unfamiliar scent. This one particular bear likes to occasionally be scratched. One day, he did the most respectable action to let me know he did not want to be scratched."
