no they don't.  i've sat and watched bulls feeding on a hillside with a giant bear less than 30 yards away from them feeding on the same hill for several hours.  They just kept looking at each other occassionaly, but nobody got excited at all.

Nope, had elk come in right after bears left on my cameras during early archery season.  Saw you other post.  Nice bulls.  Probably just all the rifle deer hunters wandering around up there that have the Bulls hiding out.  Hope your camera is in the thick and nasty stuff away from the roads.  If so, you should be fine. 

ET

Ed can attest to my cams having tons of bear on them and within 10 minutes of them leaving, the elk would show up.  I did have some pics of elk spooking with a bear showing up.  The elk always seem to still hang around.
