yes in bear country you learn real fast not to handle food or bait, and then touch a camera, a bear has a nose about 20 times better than a deer, and they have two ways of testing things, bite and taste
if either one results in something they like OR dislike, the damage can be done already!
learned that back in the 90's NEVER to touch a cam after handling foods or things that smell
and all my cam's produced more pic's of all things in the process!
had gotten a few camera's destroyed by bears, got to love that too (minus the costs)
as you first get bear then nose them mouth then inside mount and a few unknown things and then BOOM NO more working camera LOL
