Title: pics of sow and young triplets
Post by: woodman on April 30, 2013, 05:50:10 PM: This Spring bear season has been a blast so far.

I have found several sheds while hiking and have posted some in the shed section of the forum.

I also have picked up a sow that had a cub with her climbing a tree on my video cam and posted them in the trail cam section of the forum.

I also have met some great people out in the woods including members from this site, that is always fun.

Today while I was out I ran into this sow that had three small cubs with her feeding on grasses in a swamp. When she realized that I was watching her, she moved those cubs out of there pretty fast. I am sure that she is very busy keeping these little guys safe and alive out there. It really made my day when I was able to snap off these pictures. I am sure that it took a nice boar to sire those cubs and I really would like to introduce myself to him!

I've seen black bears with triplets only twice. They sure are a ton of fun to watch!!!

Post by: BuckHunter23 on May 03, 2013, 10:36:28 AM: Cool pictures! My brother and I saw a huge sow with triplets a couple years ago over in the Huckleberry. Was pretty neat to see. What is the survival rate of triplets? Would imagine that one of them probably struggles a bit as the runt :dunno:

This is a minute movie of a sow with three cubs. Maybe someone more computer smart can get it copied here.
