Vermont black bear!

[jeff barwick]

I have a great trail cam pic of a Vermont black bear. Please take a minute and follow the link to our blog http://www.onthegroundoutdoors.com/2008/09/black-bear-on-trail-camera.html and check it out. Our hope is someone out there can give us an idea about the size and weight of this bear.

My nephew, Ethan, got this pic in late August on his family property in mid-state Vermont. There seems to be a lot of food in the woods, esp. beech nuts.

Thanks for checking out the pic, and please leave a comment.

Looks like a nice bear but hard to say without a better shot of the side and head. The ears look small which usually indicates a decent bear. I can't see the bottom of the stomach since it is covered with ferns but it looks like it hangs low which is another good sign that it is a mature bear. Nice picture.
