7-11-2008-Bear & his kill

THIS IS NATURE.....I had been told this bear had killed an ailing bull elk and where it was.....Friday morning we took a ride to Phantom Lake where this is what we saw....Phantom Lake for the first time we can remember has water in it....it usually looks like a little meadow but because of the snow I have mentioned it has water in it....this is a cinnamon bear (black) and it was apparent that he was resting after a feast....
We drove about ten more miles and turned around and when we got back he had apparently eaten again and was lying flat on his back sleeping.....one of our co-workers was told by a visitor they were on a bus tour and actually saw the elk attacked by the bear as it was bent over getting a drink of water in the lake.....the pictures aren't great as it was so bright and shadows from the trees.....
