Spent some time in Grand Teton National Park recently and did some "hunting" with my camera. Yes, I was at a safe distance, using a telephoto lens:

Good sized black bear after the berries. He appeared to stand taller than my 6' - though I didn't go stand next to him and compare.

I'd been shooting photos of this mama moose and her calf when they went on high alert - in this photo - and were focused on the bear pictured above:
