I went out on Saturday and today to look for grizzlies without any luck, just when I was about to turn around I found this black bear along the Highway which was kind enough to let me photograph him for 45 minutes


The reward for a total of 19 hrs and 1400km spent on two days :)

Yep, left Calgary around 4am this morning. Also saw mountain goats and possibly two wolfs, but it was too dark and the sighting only lasted about 2 seconds, so hard to confirm if it was actually wolfs.

Edit:

I also took some close ups, just couldn't resist, D300+200-400 @ 200mm:
