Finally had my camera on me...

Not exactly a trail cam photo, but this sub forum seems the most appropriate.
Got a big ole' black bear that is always strolling through my backyard, hanging out, and making a general nuisance of himself. Finally had my camera on me and got a pic of him. The fence in the background is to my wife's garden, and is 4 foot tall, and the blue trash can is 40 gallons, so you can gauge scale. If you zoom in on the fence you can actually see a can of bear spray mounted. He's not aggressive, but he is ...big.
We have a few other bears that use my backyard as a shortcut, but they all just mosey on through. When I first moved in my house about 5 years ago there was a bear den back there (already unoccupied). The way this guy likes to hang out in and around my yard, I wonder if it was his.
