MD, I've been seeing a lot of bears this year. Seeing them on my trail cams, during walks and I almost hit one with my truck on Tuesday. And this time of year the boars are looking for sows without cubs so you're most likely to see them now.

That looks like the full mount I got in Idaho back in '89. Blonde with cinnamon legs and face.

best picture yet! Drinks a ton of water though, may run some 55gallon drums out back too refill my stock tank, it finishes off the buckets and then goes to my stock tank and drains it.

She's just being a bear. Probably not much water in that desert where you live.
