Default Bear in the driveway

Had another bear passing through the property yesterday morning. This one looks rather large. Surprisingly, haven't seen any damages, as normally the bird feeders get wrecked when a bear comes by.

Didn't seem to be in any hurry to head on out the driveway.

Clicked on the link in the first post, and it worked for me, Rich.
Looked to be a healthy specimen. But, watching the video is about as close
as I want to come to that critter!

As long as it passes on through the property at 6am, there really isn't a chance in hell that I will meet up with it. Getting up before the sun rises is just darn unnatural!

Actually, what prompted me to even check the cameras was that when Connie and I were walking up the driveway, we spotted some gouge marks in the dirt made by something apparently taking off in a hurry. Something pretty big.



Interestingly enough, I had set up some "bunny blasters" to protect my newly sprouted watermelon plants from the predations of rabbits and deer (actually foxes too, because last year I had them digging into the mounds for some reason), and right where those gouge marks are located is exactly where something walking in that direction would have triggered one of those blasters. Unfortunately the video timed out before it could catch the bear being startled by the water blast and taking off. Darn it.

Heck, when I fall asleep, I'm as good as dead to the world. Sometimes I don't move a muscle the entire night.
