Caught it on camera!
 

Woke up this morning to my brother and nephew hauling tail outside. My brother while moving the ATV saw a bear on the side of the mountain by our house and they went rushing out there to run it off. I got up and dressed and went to the trail camera i set up next to the garbage area. We had to build an aluminum frame, chain link fence area to keep the bears out. This guy was all over it from what i can tell! LOL next time i am going to set it up to video.

Determined things are they not...

Thats a pretty cool sequence of photos there.

Bears are pretty intelligent. I've seen bears take a roof off a trash shed and pile the tin just like if a human had did it. I find them fascinating in all aspects of their behavior. Looks like a younger bear too. They are always getting in trouble just like teen agers.

A weed burner electric fence mount right about the level of there nose helps keep them from climbing the fence.
