I think piggy bear is back, what do you guys think?
« on: April 14, 2013, 08:00:12 AM »
I have areas that bears seem to like to rub their backs against trees. Last June I had a bear that I called Piggy bear check out a tree that a sow rubbed against with two half grown cubs in tow. I just found this bear a few days ago on my camera that looks very similar to Piggy bear. The hair on this bear just has a pattern on it's side that lays in an unusual fashion. I also am posting another bear here that is rubbing against a different tree in another area. I am thinking they are leaving their mark or they maybe they just have a tick problem?

Do you guy's think this is the same bear?

Video 1 bear looks like the same as the picture, but to me video 2 bear looks younger and not as much of a fatty as the big one. Are they in the same area?

First video and the picture are the same area. The second video is for the back scratching part of my post. I have other videos and pictures of bears doing the back scratching thing. I do know that I have pulled ticks of of myself in there already this year, more than normal. I just wonder how the animals are fairing with them. I have killed deer in there that have just been crawling with ticks.

Seems like ticks are getting worse over here on the wet side, buddy had one in his arm in April last year out of kapowsin and I picked up a couple off me from cleaning liljozies deer last fall that was low in WR Hancock. Could be thats why they are scratching more... just gonna have to put them out of their misery  :chuckle:

I don't know about bears, but wherever there have been lots of turkeys, there seem to be more tics.  Yes, I've seen lots of tics on deer too but at least where I live, it seems to be more the turkeys than the deer.
