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:

Nice variety of critters. I was able to go to the Tetons a few years ago and actually enjoyed photographing the moose and elk more than the landscapes.

Nice job there, and a good mix as well.

Cookie was hoping for some bear on her last outing, but her chosen local was low on berries/cherries. None to be found.

Thanks all! I've been sticking closer to home here in Central Washington. Have a few more photos to add though:

Poor quality because it was taken well before sunrise, but I thought the elk hunters here would appreciate this. Yes, easily within normal rifle range.

Poor quality? Your your own worst critic. Truth is you got the shot! I like it too!

Thanks! I have to admit that I was imagining crosshairs on the shoulder of each of those bulls... smile

That's a tough tag to draw. If I ever do draw it, I know where to find this bachelor group!

And I've been looking for this fellow this fall, unsuccessfully:

GWB - saw a buck kinda like that once in Wyoming. I could not get a shot at him, or he'd be on the wall. Cool photo. Thanks for sharing!

Moose in the first photo is a giant.

Digging the airplane buck as well. Super goofy.
