Circle of Life - 3
I rarely could get a clear shot of the bear. Only when he entered a small opening as he searched this small field.
We found out, when elk give birth to their young, the cow will cover and hide the calves in the brush. Somehow the bear knew that this field held new born elk calves. To the bears credit, he was relentless. He keep his nose to ground and his mind on the task at hand. The bear methodically zig-zagged this small field for a hour and a half, without giving up. All the while the two cows would not give up either. They were following, harassing, and trying to confuse the bear, by spreading their scent all around the field.
