Bears Pictures and broken Camera

[Devinshoe]

Just went out and grabbed my cameras this morning. My first camera was in perfect condition then as i approached the second i could see it wasn't there anymore and as i got closer it was busted up pretty dang good. As i picked it up there was still slobber all over it and it was all wet and there was a puddle laying right next to it. So i think after my bear got done chewing on it the bear decided to take a leak on it! Haha well i just tried turning my camera on and my display screen doesnt work anymore and the sensor cover is destroyed. Oh well though.

Im gunna keep the camera. I still have to see if it still takes pictures. But the only thing is i cant see read the display screen. Hopefully it still works. Yeah watrapper this is the second time i have had this camera ripped off a tree by a bear.   I've heard bears tear into cameras because of the smell of the batteries or cause of the human scent but im not really sure.
