Title: Got another bear on the Moultrie
Post by: bobcat on September 06, 2010, 05:29:53 PM: Had the camera set up for deer. Didn't get a lot of pictures, a doe w/fawn, a coyote, and a bear. Not the best picture but the bear appears to have a collar. What do you think?

To me the bear looks small but I thought if I had the chance I might shoot it just so I could get the information about it's age and where it was trapped, etc.

It's all uphill back to the road, and about a mile.

There is a second picture of the coyote, taken just seconds after the first one. It seems that the camera spooked it for some reason. :dunno:

You may call the bio, tell them the location and ask some particulars?

About 8 miles to the southwest. I'd be surprised if it was the same bear, but it's possible.
