Nice. I was in the Smokies last October and the only bear we saw was the one that ran across the road in front of us in the dark and nearly ended up as a hood orniment. Stopped, but he was already gone into the woods.

Thanks, all. I do have head on shots, but he had a ear tag for research. This angle doesn't show it.
