Bears leave their calling card “scent” in a number
of different ways. I was fortunate moving a trail camera only a few feet to
catch this bear using two methods to leave its scent. The first is obvious with
the bear rubbing its backside against the tree. Did you pick up on the second
method? It’s called stomping. The bear will walk and almost appear to be marching
pushing its legs down and turning its feet which also leaves scent.
