trail cameras

Has anyone ever had a bear steel a camera? My buddy locks his up. Says he lost one to a bear. Claw marks in the tree. Is this a common thing?

I've got lots of pictures a dentist would kill for of the inside of a bears mouth.  Cracked the glass on a camera we built three years ago.  I 100% believe him.

Live your life in such a way that if someone were to speak poorly of you, nobody would believe them.

Sorry to hear that might be time to go bear hunting!!
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

would strapping a game camera to your back be considered bear baiting?

I have some video of the same thing when a bear ate my camera.........I think you're on to something....I think he could sense that I am a dentist!!  :chuckle:
