Sitka Black-tailed Deer
There is more to see then just bears at the Pack Creek Bear Viewing area. Here is a young Sitka Black-tailed Deer buck that along with a couple of others walked right up to us!
Making Javelinas!
I guess one thing leads to the other. 
Look at how small that little baby is – it didn’t show in prior photos, so I assume it is only a day or two old.
Javelina Water Hole
The javelina are funny. They quickly learn that water will come out of the ground at 9:00 p.m. each night into my water catchment basin – about 4 to 6 gallons a night pour into it from a tank I have onsite. The first photo was taken at 8:42. It isn’t uncommon for them to show up a little early and lay around and wait. The second photo is them all drinking at 9:01. After the water comes out, the javelina typically hang around for another hour or two or even more to enjoy the mud. However, within 5 to 10 minutes of their departure, other animals such as the fox, bobcat or skunks arrive. Clearly they are laying in wait in the shadows for an opportunity to come in for a drink.
Fishing Bear Family
This is the most scenic bear viewing location in Alaska in my opinion. This was from my second Bear and Whale photo tour. Fortunately this year we had great bears here both weeks!
