Watched a big black bear feeding in a meadow at 75 yards from our campsite Saturday night. It was too dark for quality photographs, but the next morning I tracked his movements from the previous night and got shots of a print in the snow, and a fresh pile of his scat.
For reference, this print is pictured with an FNX 40 that has a 7.4" length, and the gun is sitting about 1.5" closer to the camera than the print. The gun actually fit inside the depression of the print. I wish I'd had a measuring tape - though I realize a print isn't always indicative of size.

His scat was also by far the biggest pile we encountered over the weekend, out of about 24 piles on the 7-mile hike into camp.
I haven't a seen a ton of bears, but this was by far the biggest. I'm hoping he'll stick around until August 15th!
