This week’s blog includes my recent MassWildlife magazine article, “In the Tracks of Black Bear,” sharing bear sign that can be found  in Massachusetts woodlands. In Novemebr, I’ll give a presentation expanding on the article and sharing more signs to look for in the woods. I’ll post the details soon.

October has brought warm days, cool nights, and beautiful fall foliage. I’m kicking myself for winterizing our camper so early, especially with pleasant weather expected for the first few days of November. Bears are still roaming in the mild weather. Last week, my trail cameras recorded a very plump sow with two yearlings at one location and two other bears at another.

                                          Ticks have been relentless. Stay alert if you’re heading into the woods.

I set trail cameras at four whitetail scrapes, hoping to record bucks in daylight. Activity has been steady, with eight different bucks recorded—but only one during the day so far.
