It was actually the Smokies in Tenn, but to answer the ? Awesome as far as wildlife went. Saw literly Hundreds of Deer. Big bucks in Velvet get me everytime. Especially when the distance between them and me can be measured in feet not yards. Bears,yotes,bobcat, wild hogs, turkeys, and a very attractive topless sunbather rounded out the WILDLIFE to be seen. Didn't do to hot on the brookies or any trout for that matter. Water was just to low. Lake author did provide some awesome saugar fishing though and kept me and the boys busy and the frying pan popping.
I will post some pics when I get the film developed and scanned on to the computer. Yes I still use a 35 mm slr The didigtals are just to expensive. Maybe if I am really good Santa (the all money controling wife) will let me get one for Christmas.
By the way if you want to see a bunch of city-slickers pee in their pants wait until a bear is spotted and then sit down pull out your hare in distress call and start wailing away. When that bear starts heading your way . HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes a distress call, turkey box call, several mouth calls , and a grunt tube are always in my camera bag.
The Rockies are in two or three years. After aruba. I love the endless options with my vacation club.
