Title: Black Bear
Post by: buddywoods on September 06, 2013, 07:35:21 PM

My wife and I saw a black bear in a tree when we were in the Smoky Mountains (taken on Tuesday 9/3/13). Here are some pictures of him as he is coming down the tree.

Wonderful shots, Buddy. But I sure hope you were using a zoom lens and not really that close!

Thanks, Jeanne. I was using a 15-85 mm lens. We were on a trail going to Grotto Falls so I only carried the camera with the one lens. The bear didn't seem to care about us. There were other people standing with us. Once the bear got to the ground we couldn't see him anymore.

How big was he buddy? he looks like a young one! Great shots, good that you didn't see him when he got down you wouldn't want him showing up in front of you!.

Thanks Judy, He looked bigger than a cub but he didn't look full grown to me.
