Completely overrun with Bear.  I see as many of them as I do deer...and they always try to eat my cameras.

I didnt know you had trail cams. Now I'm excited.
Did he end up trashing the camera?

And that is the reason you put the trail cam in a bear cage.  The bear did have a nice smile.

I have killed 4 with a bow and 4 with a gun.  Anymore they are just a nuisance.  Population has skyrocketed.  About 10 years ago there were some really big bears around...now if ya see a 300 lber you are doing good.  Majority are around 120 lbs.

I have 4 cams out.  I just dont post alot of my trail cam pics  :wink:  I learned a few years ago to build bear boxes for my cameras.  I got tired of chewed up cams.  I make my own boxes out of A/C disconnect boxes from lowes.  They are $7.  Bring em home, rip the guts out, goto work with dremmel tool.  After that I use some gasket maker to give it a 3D bark look and then paint it.  The tree I had it on in this pic was a little light for my paint job but it still blends in very well once you step back away from it.
