The effort in the last three weeks setting
and moving trail cameras around in anticipation of the Massachusetts moose rut
is paying off. Based on what I am seeing on the TC’s, moose are in full swing
with rutting activity. Most activity has been at night, but one camera did take
a daytime video of a respectable bull crossing a beaver dam. You have heard me
reference several times , find the cows and the bulls are sure to follow. Well,
the bulls have arrived! To date 4/5 different bulls have been videoed.
A little over a month ago I started
scouting new areas for bears. I found one location that caught my interest and
set one TC hoping to catch a little late season bear activity. The camera stayed
out for exactly one month. I couldn’t believe the bear activity ! The trail camera
had 94 videos, and 34 videos were of BEARS…. There were nine different bears
not including cubs.
-
Four sows – two sows with cubs – one with
yearlings – one that had sent her cubs off on their own late spring ( collared
bear )
-
Five single bears ranging from a yearling
on its own to mature bears. Most looked good putting on the pounds
I’m not sure why there is so much bear activity in that area, I’ll do
more scouting over the winter.
