@eearroyo1312 We made good choices. Those choices were to walk away loudly and not pause for pictures.
I've seen people do stupid things for wildlife photos on the trail before, and chided them. Not gonna be that person!
@eearroyo1312 The "proper" thing is to back away, but we turned around; then again, the ground was uneven, and backing away we would likely have tripped and made the situation worse, so?
