Nice shots! Are the bears residents to your area or just sleep walking through?

These two little guys have taken up residence in the area since last fall(i believe momma kicked them out)2 year olds from what i can tell. they decided to pester and tick me off , destroying my 3-d archery targets(2 deer and a turkey), a block target, 3 tree stands last fall, not to mention about an acre of corn i leave stand for the deer. figured they denned up under a neighbors trailer that hasen't been used in 2 years now(tracks went under but not out last dec) thought i put up a few cameras around the house figuring they would be back. Guess its time to take down the bird feeders...

Nice pics G!

Saw them a few times during archery always together(can't shoot a bear in a group) maybe this year they will screw up and show up alone!

Your lucky they didnt damage your trail camera.I had a bear rip mine off the tree,Found it about 50 yards from the tree with teeth marks in it.

they seem to like to pose for the camera? i know what you mean though tough to replace a good cam like a cuddieback!  the ir flash doesn't work for me but i got the cams for 40$ as a last years model at a gunshow.  i really wish they would institute a spring season for bear!!

Ive left my climber in the woods at the base of a tree but not attached also I covered it with a kitchen garbage bag bc of rain coming over night.  Kitchen garbage bags are sometimes vanilla scented now I  know this the next am my stand was trashed and scattered top and bottom 25 yards in seperate directions.  Pretty scary in the dark with only a bow knowing it happened in the last 6 or so hours.

I lost my first trail cam to a miserable male.......................He chewed that thing to shreds, even chewed up the 6v battery. LOL

I know that feeling, me and a buddy where fishing the Jessips River south of Indian Lake a few yrs. back, we where waist deep in the middle of the river in waders with 5-6 ft. banks on each side. There was a shallow spot with a sand bar in the middle part way down the river, on the way back through we saw fresh bear tracks (7-8 inches across) and a half eaten fish that was not there 30 mins. earlier. Gave me the chills....................But not as bad as the night 4 bears raided our tent site at Indian Lake campground and distroyed the entire site except for the tent and us, that was one scary night.
