What is with this bear?
« on: April 27, 2012, 05:08:03 PM »
I posted a thread on a back scratching bear a couple of days ago. I went back and checked my trail cam today and found a bear scratching his back on a few different trees. Is this a normal trait, or maybe he has bugs or ticks on him. I have many hundreds of bear pictures from trail cams but none like this. These are early morning pics and pretty dark, so I picked one that I could make reasonably visible for this question.

Maybe it is Mrs. Squatch.... ummmmm Dan-O....  RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
