 :yeah: and it isn't a joke because they WILL eat/destroy/steal cameras.  Security boxes work well for bears or taking a panel of 1x1/2 hardware cloth and screwing it over the front of the camera.  A bear can still wreck this but flossing with wire is unpleasant enough that I haven't had any ruined like this.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Oh, I wasn't kidding. He was sniffing and checking things out. Eat or don't eat?

 I think the eye in the 2nd pic is too big for a bear. I think it's an elk also.

It is obviously a bear in both photos. Besides, the photos are at the same time and in succession.

Those are both Elk photo's.. I think that first pic the Elk's head is down so its dark colored mane is lookin almost black. And certainly that 2nd photo the features say Elk all day..Big ole eyeball and smooth lookin head...Elk!

I'll say both the first pics are a black bear.  Not the right color for an elk at this time.  If it's not a bear, it must be a sasquatch and you will soon be a very rich man if you can get a clear pic.
