Bear “
Stomping Behavior “ can be exhausting as shown by this large Massachusetts male
bear. Something else has his attention, I do not think it is the sound of the
trail camera. He rested for ten minutes in front of the camera constantly winding
and moving his head left and right. He was serious about scent marking,
urinating while stomping. I wonder if there is a female in late estrus. https://youtu.be/GenFJOtcwVE
I have
another area where a younger bear has been marking one small hemlock sapling every
few days. I am guessing it’s a male. It will be interesting to see if any other
bears scent marks the sapling.
