Lesson Learned

Sometimes things don’t go as planned. The good and not so good. The video shows a male bear following a female. Some real good video of their butts! The male bear scent marks a white pine at the end of the video. Several weeks ago the same tree was tore up by a bear (pic). There is a trail camera set on each end of this beaver dam. Looking at the trail camera picture you’ll see brown cattails on the far end of the dam. That  was the camera that captured the video in the post. The trail camera in the picture is set on the opposite side of the dam. That video DIDN’TL capture any footage of either bear. Yesterday’s TC check showed the batteries were (3/4) fine!.......hmmmm. This TC did capture other animals two days prior. My guess is the batteries were drained. Lesson learned. Be mindful of the number of pics & video a camera is capturing. Especially in a hot spot. Sure wished I thought of this earlier, before those two bears crossed UGH!!!
