Title: Big bear ( 1 or 2 )
Post by: Craig on October 22, 2009, 11:28:13 AM: Do you think this is one bear or two bears? I have no luck finding the bucks only raccoons, doe,bear.

First bear. When I went and checked the cameras today I put a mineral lick out for the deer and found the block about 20 feet away. Notice how the block is gone in the other pictures.

I don't know bear sizes very well but I'm going to say BIG bear with a very nice coat.
