Late July Bear Activity

 


Last weekend you couldn’t ask for better hiking weather. Each morning the temps started off in the low fifties. The cool weather kept the deer flies at bay for the first few hours.

 I was off to swap out SD cards in several trail cameras that haven’t been changed in a month or so. When reaching the first camera trap I knew a bear had been in the area. The camera was spun on the tree and now facing down. Fortunately the plastic strap holders weren’t broken. I have a few older trail cameras that don’t have metal security boxes. On that note, if your camera trapping in bear country I strongly suggest spending the extra money on a metal case.

The second trail camera is setup a short distance away and does have a metal case. Three bears were in the area late July and all three checked that trail camera out.

Still no sow with cubs captured on video last week.

It will be interesting to see what this weekend’s SD cards have on them
