I will be in Haines during the first week of August. The motel desk clerk advised us about the Chilkoot River and the bears. I have a Tamron 150-600mm lens. What lens did you use for your photos? I so enjoyed looking at your album and hope I'm lucky enough to see a little of what you have shown! They are fantastic photos!
Do you see people out of their vehicles watching the bears?
August is the perfect time for bear viewing. I use a Nikon D800 and lean toward a 500 mm f/4, or the Nikkor 80-400. There is a road that parallels the Chilkoot River, where people can move up and down the river while the bears engage in their favorite sport of fishing. I do photography guide work in Haines, and if you are interested in pursuing some options there, I would be happy to share some emails with you.
