1st Bear Of The Season

 


Its has been a busy week finishing up setting out camera traps for bears. I made a trip back into Lost Pond to change out one camera that was having issues. When checking the SD card I was surprised to see it had captured the first bear of the season on March 23rd It was a night time pic, so not much more than what I call a evidence capture.




  

In 2021 I started an anecdotal bear study looking to learn more about bear behavior and how they are doing in Massachusetts  . I finished compiling the 2022 data. The two-year study also shares some of the highlights.

Trail Cameras have been deployed again in 2023, It will be interesting to see what this year unfolds Just a note when viewing. Each slide has a ten second  time duration   https://hikingcamerawildlife.smugmug.com/

 

Bushwhacking for antlers yesterday presented a unique moose encounter. A young bull and I met nose to nose. We first spotted each other at about forty yards. Instead of immediately reaching for my phone to take pics. I stood completely still for a few minutes. The moose became inquisitive and started walking towards me.
