This morning I hiked to swap out SD cards. . Expectations were low given the time of year and the trail cameras have been slow the last few weeks. I was surprised to see bear activity in December. Two trail cameras captured better than thirty videos late November through Mid December of bears. Reviewing the footage, three bears represented all the video activity. There were no Sow's with cubs. This fall the woods were loaded with food. White Oak & Red Oak Acorns were abundant.. There was no shortage of Concord Grapes or Hickory Nuts.
These three bears appeared very plump !
Weather has been pretty mild for December. It will be interesting to see if bears stay active for the remainder of December.
