Spring Bear in Lincoln 501

[bobcat]

Was it fresh, or from previous years?

I was out again last night. I saw a lot of bear damage in almost every area. I was showing the wife what it looked like.
Keep looking!!

I probably need to have some lessons on how to recognize it next time your heading up maybe you could show me what it looks like .
The only place I have seen it is down in the creek bottoms, while standing next to trees,  no visible sign from looking down from the ridge....
The trees I saw dont look like they are dying, just have large marks near the base, and all from previous years, nothing I would recognize as recent, but I am new at this....

Old or new? Any pics?

Sorry guys,
It was from a couple of days to over a month old. Found some last night that has been there maybe two months. So the bears have been out and about for awhile.
Stickandstring next time I see you up there I will show you the damage. You will be suprised that you have been over looking it.
I posted a pic of a bear feeding ---wasn't that fresh enough???  I think it was in any bear sightings yet. That was on Friday.

That was fresh enough...now if you would have told me where...
I meant the damage to trees, as all I have seen is old, and not visible until you are standing next to tree.
I am just curious about being able to identify it. this season is all about learning for me.
Being new to targeting bears, instead of just carrying a tag "in case"...

So you are talking about bear sign, like torn stumps. NOT timber damage, like peels, correct?

We're on the list   Anytime now we can expect an email update on location of damage sightings.  Be prepared for the Lincoln A 1st report bear sighting and HW BBQ gathering
