TC Bobcat / Snoozer Snoring

Now that I know this bobcat uses this new area and rather cross the ice than the beaver dam my trail camera was moved to a dead tree overlooking the small pond.

Have a better field of view and much better light with the trail mounted in the open. The bobcat prefers to use the ice instead of the dam.

I often wondered once a deep woods bear dens for the winter will it come out after hibernating. The picture reveals the answer. This bear is fairly remote but certainly could travel to reach houses. So my next question did it? I walked a forty yard circle around the den area and the bear did not wander far from the den opening.
It was amazing listing to the bear SNORE!
There is a TC a short distance from the den opening. Two things crossed my mind as I thought about tip toeing to get the SD card...
I didn't want to disturb the bear and put undo pressure on it and have it abandon the den.....
After seeing the tracks ooooooh did I SO want to get that SD card!!!
Second thought was, if I were to muster up the _ ALLS ,what is the worse thing that could happen.
1) bear exits den , Jim diarrhea's  himself, bear is offended and keeps on going !  LOL
or bear exits den and it doesn't end up a good day for Jim.
I did set up a second camera.  Pulling SD card will need to wait to another day Stay Tuned !
