Hi Joe,

Thanks for sharing this with me. It is especially interesting to me, as this bear was a cub-of-the-year in 2003. The bear was born in January 2003 near Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County, Maryland. The bear was the only male in a litter of 4 cubs. One of the other cubs was severely injured and eventually euthanized due to a logging accident (tree it was in was disturbed and the bear fell out) during the summer of 2003. The size of the bear is truly amazing as it is a yearling bear. This winter would have been this bear's first winter denning alone.

I hope you find this as interesting as I do. Thanks again for sharing it.
