Just like
that, black bear activity slows significantly in Massachusetts. The boars go
back to their solitary lives. It amazes me how big these animals are, and how
elusive they can become. With the trail cameras I have deployed throughout the
state, I doubt any will trigger with a big boar moving past it. I might
possibly catch one this September or October when they are foraging for food to
fatten up before hibernating. The good news, now that mating season is just
about over, Sows with cubs will travel more freely over there home ranges and with
that comes more possibilities to video them.
I did try
something different with a trail camera a few weeks back. Climbing up a bear
scent tree, about fifteen feet, a trail
was placed facing down in hopes of capturing a bear scent rubbing the tree. (

My next
challenge is to try and capture ( TC video) a bear walking along a
Massachusetts stream. I set out a few trail cameras this morning, in a few
weeks I’ll put together a video showing how I went about it.
