Hi John,
The black bears around the camp sites were very tame and quite the food
moochers. The Park Rangers did not discourage feeding the bears 30 years
ago, however it is frowned upon now, as thier plan is to go back to a more
natural environment. I don't think we would try this with a brown or
grizzly.
We have been on inland canoe trips and spotted many moose and white tailed
deer form a distance as close as 50 feet, but I don't take any cameras on
extended canoe trips. Missed some very good shots.
