Big Week For Bears !

Yesterday camera trap check was incredible. The above pic is a snip it from one of the videos. This is a new beaver dam for me, and up until this week it has been slow.  This set captured three different bears crossing the beaver dam in a three day period. Two of the bears were pretty impressive with their size.
Bear activity is high  being in the middle of mating season. Hopefully I can get another busy week at this location.
A TC check this morning wasn't as spectacular with capturing several deer and a twilight evening moose.

Eventful Hike !

Yesterday was pretty eventful hiking. The morning started out spotting a young bull feeding, and having enough light to get a reasonable picture. A short time later I was surprised to find a few bear tracks in the mud. It’s been a few years since seeing any tracks.

The plan was to reach a distant swamp early in hopes of catching a moose feeding on lilies.  That didn’t happen, but I got a bigger surprise on my hike out. Reaching the intersection of an old cart road there was a bear was moping along walking in the opposite direction. He did stop to look.

Deer flies were a nuisance on my return hike. A head net will be a must next time out.
