Bears on the Move

I had an opportunity to make a couple of new camera trap sets last weekend. Both sets are on new beaver dams that were located late last winter. What I really like about these two beaver dams is that they are remote and have high potential of bears using them.

The first two bears of the season were captured on my most productive beaver dam year after year. The first bear was only a glimpse of the hind quarter, the bear was moving fast across the dam and the sensor on the TC was pointed to low in front of the camera. I added another small log, raising the camera about five inches.

The second bear was a sow with three second year cubs. The bears crossed the dam walking away from the trail camera. Had they been crossing in the opposite direction, it would have made an incredible video. I added a second trail camera. Let’s hope that the bears use this dam again!
