Spotted large Black Bear on Sunday night the 2nd, on road to Chisos Basin, called to report same but kept getting punch button failure finally sent report to webmaster via e-mail hope that worked, large fellow/girl guess 350 pounds. Got the blood pumping as I was standing in dark looking at stars and taking L. When we started truck and turned on headlights he was about 10 feet away, no photos as soon as lights came on he/she took off.

Those direct links never seem to work for me.  I went to http://www.nps.gov/bibe/naturescience/sightings.htm to download it and it still didn't work.  Maybe later...

Didn't work with Firefox, but did with Internet Destroyer.  Weird.

Works fine with Firefox and Mac OS X.

BTW, I love the disclaimer, "This information is NOT intended to attract people to locations of sightings."  :eusa_whistle:
