I guess it's time to get a new Trail Camere. That trouble maker bear is back, he was up in my tree blind messing with the seat and camo again....then he decided to climb the tree my trail cam was in and tore it off it's mount. It took a little seasrching, but I found the camera in the grass about 30 feet from the tree it was in. Bad part was.........I never even got a photo of him. The only thing on the card was some pic's of a grey fox walking past.

If I ever get that bear in my sights.......I'm going to pull the trigger REALLY HARD and make it HURT!

Little Fella? Ha, there ain't nothing little about the bears around here. I think you should bring Thomas out here and the two of you sit up in my two man blind and when this bear comes up to check you two out, Thomas can stick the barrels of his new O/U down the bears throat and give him "What For"

Then Thomas could take the bear skin to school for a show and tell story!

Dang Eric! I hope you called the airlines to reserve tickets to Dave's today. That would be a memory to last a lifetime and quite an invitation!
 
Dave,
There must have been food smell on your camera.
I put mine up at bear bait sites regularly and no/little problems so far.
No smell and they will look as they are naturally inquisitive but not damage..so long as it doesn't smell like the candy bar you ate just before putting it up...lol
I wear gloves until the camera change/work is done then bait....always.

That plastic cover will have to be replaced on the camera and it cannot use just "normal" plastic, the plastic used has a kind of amplifer embedded in it.(Just a tip ;))
 
Dave you have to be kind to those bears. I think that one has a grudge against you. This one came twenty feet from the house. I have a recipe for porridge I can give you.It doesn't have lead in it. So Steve will like it. Hee heepentax 36 001 (Small).jpg
 
Pete, it ain't porridge this bear is after. He just comes down the bear trail under the blind once every few months and likes to screw with me. It's the same bear that torn the blind seats up (TWICE!) and bit the camera last year. 3 years ago he showed up 6 nites in a row and would take down my Military camo ground blind and roll it up into a ball and put it in teh same spot each time. He never chewed on it or tore it up, he just took it down and rolled it up each night............he's just a crazy bear. None of the others ever bother anything when they pass through.

In another 2 months when things dry up the bears will start coming down to the hgouse here to dring from the pond in the lawn area. Two years ago I had some pheasant game bird feed in a 5 gallon bucket that had a screw on lid and a big plastic handle.

One night I was sitting here at the computor and I heard a racket start up on the back porch, I grabbed a .357 and opened the sliding door as I turned on the porch light...........a black 400+ pounder had been trying to get the lid off the bucket and managed to get the handle caught over his head..........when he saw me he took off uphill with teyh bucket dangling between his front legs! Too funny. I followed his tracks the next morning expecting to find where the bucket fell off after the handle broke, but I never saw the bear or the bucket again.

It's wild when you live out with the critters, but I would'nt have it any other way.
