Won't Be Long For Massachusetts Bears

 


Snow last Monday in central Massachusetts certainly put a damper on hiking and setting out trail cameras. My town received twenty inches!! It would have been good snowshoeing weather, I didn’t want to chance a worn path directly to my camera traps.

I was able to start setting camera traps for “ Bears “ the last few days. Lost Pond and Scat Swamp are good to go. Its going to be a warm week and I should be able to reach my other bear hot spots.

The fisher scent post continues to be active. The frequency of activity so far has been ten fishers that have triggered the trail camera. Reviewing the footage suggests that three different males and two different females have visited this scent post location in March. I’ll keep tally and will share the results when activity at the post slows down.

The cover picture is a set at Lost Pond. Over the winter, bobcats, coyotes and raccoons crossed that log on a regular basis. I’m hoping bears will also use it.

Ticks are out!!! Be sure to treat your cloths.
