D%#$ Bear!

[PickettSFHunter]

Came up to one of my cams today to find it ripped half off the tree. The metal mounting brackets I use were bent over and one of the 2.5 inch screws I use to mount into the tree with was totally pulled out of the tree! Been getting pics of this bear so I figured thats what it was. At least the P41, SE120 build is OK, just have to redo my mounts. This bear is really starting to tick me off, wish we could get a season. Look slike it stood on its hind legs and put all of its weight on the cam.

Don't know what it is with bears & camera's, but have good friend in FL that could not keep a camera on a tree last fall due to the bears destroying them...

Yes quite a few bears in parts of the county. The park and places around the park are getting pretty thick.

If the camera hadn't caught it nobody would have believed it.

 

[deerkiller300wsm]

That suck....but its kinda funny too

 

[BoonerBucks]

wow..

 

[RaschChronicles]

Fascinating.

I wonder what it is that makes them interested in it? I would venture to guess that it's curiosity.

"Hmmm, I wonder what that is? Can I eat it? Maybe I can scratch on it. Nah, lets just break it."

Must be the teenage equivelant of bears.

I guess they're just curious. I had a cam knocked down by a bear a couple years back right here at the house and he followed it down the ridge, knocking it around (it was taking pics the whole time).

We had this little guy visit last night. Walked right up to the door. We haven't had any bear damage, but we're real careful not to leave stuff out since I left a door a truck door open and one went in after my wife's bag of Bugles.

 

[RUGER]

Wild.

 

[TNseabee]

I know here in WV alot of folk including myself make a habit of not handling or touching trail cams after handleing bait....I want even touch my cam when I put out a block or corn, and spray it down with a cover scent when i do handle it.

East Tennessee is blessed with hogs and bears but decent Whitetails are a rarity. That's a good bear.
