#4 - A tranquilized black bear is carried to the bear trap to be relocated.

This was one of the harder shots in the top ten. The moved around a fair bit and at one time the RCMP were guarding the wrong section of pathways. When I finally zeroed in on the bear it was pure luck. The fire department was called out to help carry the bear and the location was rebroadcast, which I picked up on the scanner. I arrived at the same time as the fire department and got several shots, this one being the best as the two Fish and Wildlife officers carried the bear back to the bear trap for transport out of town.

As it turned out the fire department wasn't needed.
