What A Great Start Camera Trapping Massachusetts Bears

 


The trail cameras in Massachusetts have been busy this week. Typically, it's May before they capture a sow with first year cubs, but on April 1st a sow with two cubs was videoed. Additionally, five sows with nine yearlings were videoed over the last several weeks. These yearlings will be independent in six to eight weeks as mating season begins.

I have several trail cameras set up to capture bears in their habitat. The picture above shows a sow in her environment .
