Located Several New Locations For Bears

 

Picture above is an eight-point buck somewhat inquisitive about the beaver chew tree and hearing the tc video.

 

It’s been a productive week scouting and bushwhacking Massachusetts woodlands. I found three new areas for camera trapping ( trail cameras). Two of the locations had bear bite trees. I enjoy learning new areas, this should keep me busy for 2026. While bushwhacking through a thick patch of mountain laurel I found an eight-pointer buck skull or what’s called a deadhead. The buck’s demise was likely in the last few months with a tint of red still on it.

I had to remove two trail cameras that were watching a small beaver pond with a bank lodge. The beaver dam  sprung a leak, considerably dropping the water level, which in turn collapsed the ice that was on the pond. I had a trail camera about ten feet out into the pond. I needed to pull the camera while I can still get to it. The bank lodge camera also needs to be pulled. Mice were running on top of the lodge continuously at nigh killing the batteries.
