While driving from Skagway, AK to Carcross, Yukon last week we spotted this fella just off the roadside munching on grass. He must have just come out of hibernation and was getting his fill of fiber.

And yes, I was using a long lens. He wasn't as close as he looks.

Just out of hibernation huh? Although they're big and cumbersome, they can run much faster than you hope and...he's hungry!.

Great set
