Walked out to one of my cameras today and it is covered in what I think is baby box elder bugs.
I walked up on a black bear a few years ago. He was just sitting there watching me approach. I didn't really think it was cool. Startled the sh.. out of me.

Wish I had kept the photos sent to me by my younger Son. A few years ago he owned a house in NE Pa. about 500 yards from a state parcel. As he didn't live there full time he put in a camera system he could monitor with his cell. He sent me pictures of all kinds of critters. When I saw the Large black bear I gave him my 12 ga. pump and some slugs as he would walk my 5 year old granddaughter in the woods carrying just a 9mm.
Can't argue with a good pump and slugs.
It would a mid weight revolver for me 357/180gn or 44m.
Just dreaming again sorry .

Brit, I would perfer a good riot gun and slugs in the event of a bear attack, I am a decent shot with a hand gun, but in a tense situation for me anyway a riot gun takes the number 1 slot. Not only that if all else fails the long gun would take a superior spot as a club verses a side arm.
I rarely put my trail camera up where I hunt, I prefer to be surprised, I do use it around the house to pinpoint the varmints that make my harvests iffy.
Example; I have the best muscadine crop I have had in years, then the fruit started disappearing just before it was ripe enough to pick, I suspected coons. To confirm this I put out my trail camera, I have plenty of dog proof coon traps.
Well, I caught the varmints on camera that were raiding my muscadines, not what I expected.

So, many years ago I shot a buck with very distinct black markings, black line down its back, prominent black marks down its muzzle and up and across its brow line. I rushed the shot and just nicked him. I saw him twice more that season, he would come to the fork in the trail coming out of a small hollow, look toward that treestamd location and if I wad there, calmly walk the other way. Never saw him again after that.
I have a camera just down the hill from that spot.
Look at this youngster's markings....

The doe seems obvious,,,, what about the bear?
How about now?
They both circled around. I also have the deer walking off the right side of the frame, then coming back quickly, I think the bear circled clockwise and around behind the camera.
The videos won't seem to transfer but the bear comes and investigates the camera the next night.
Maybe 500 yards further down the hill, different bear,
He strolls right over a sapling ahead of him like it isn't even there, lol. On video he looks like a big lumbering drunk.

Pretty sure he's molting, or whatever it's called when they change from Sumner red to winter grey. I have picks of one in the same area a few weeks before whose whole body is like this guy's neck. I thought it was a piebald at 1st.
Be nice if folks would hold off a couple years on deer like these, there are plenty of meat deer around.

Finally checked the camera in the zucchini patch.
Note to self - set the clock on camera.

Opening day of archery deer season this morning. Sat above this cam that shows a visitor came by yesterday morning,,,,
Squirrels seemed to be making an extra ruckus barking and making that long squeal they make, more than usual.
Then I heard one that really didn't sound right, like it was below me and moving while making a cutting noise,,,,
Trail cam caught it too,
I guess I'd squawk too if bob' was carrying me off for breakfast.

I'm getting the feeling I may have a good hunting season ahead of me...
These three guys showed up Friday morning on a food plot I planted. Can't wait for October 1 and the start of archery season!
