Well, I
guess this is the summer to see bears. While bushwhacking this week along a
ridge, I caught movement in the distance, stopping, I watched a bear wandering
aimlessly while foraging. It would feed on a variety of plants then investigate
rotten logs and stumps looking for insects. I didn’t get to watch it for too
long before it picked up my scent and vanished in the blink of an eye. Neat to
see for sure. Continuing, I came upon a BIG long deadfall that had been moved
by a bear. I attempted to roll the log, and it wasn’t happening. The log was
approximately twenty feet long and the
biggest log I have ever found in Massachusetts. About a quarter mile from the
log, I found a decent size birch tree that was used as a scent marking tree
with the bear leaving a large gouge in the tree. This is only the second hardwood
tree that I’ve ever located in MA. with
bear markings. Hope to find more this fall.
