    I left my camera up hoping to get some better pics of him. Looks to be a pretty good size bear.
    Take care

    You're lucky he didn't decide to go for your camera.

    Great pics Dave... the body on that bear screams "big"!!!

    I didn't set my game cam over my birdfeeders this year even though a bear destroyed several. A few years ago I did and captured several pictures of a mid-size Sow. I didn't mind her hanging around, I actually had a ground blind set-up in my back yard all summer long so I could watch her in my back yard with her 3 cubs every evening.... eventually though we had to call the PGC and have a bear trap set-up in my yard when she decided to start walking on my neighbors porch in the middle of the day and sticking her nose into their open windows. The Game Warden set the trap and told me how to check/set it incase we caught any racoons, but within 3 hours of the trap being set-up we had caught the Sow... her cubs were still free so the GC had to release her, but we didn't see her on our property again. We saw her and the cubs about 8 months later in a corn-field about 1-1/2 miles away!
