Bear....

idhunter, That feeder has been there for eight years, and it has never been turned over. Dry corn is not a favorite food of bears. The berries will start to ripen soon, then I will not see bears at the feeder.

caddis, There are lots of advantages to a digital over a film camera. The camera watching the feeder averages 100 photos a day. With a film camera, I would not get to see 76 photos. And you get so many junk photos, birds, crows ravens, mice etc, you waste lots of money on film and processing. On a digital, you can set it to make video instead of still photos. I am not a turkey hunter, so I don't save too many of my turkey photos, just a few of the better ones. This one was taken February 20 at the same feeder, but the camera was mounted on a different tree.

Lucky he killed the bear. A .22 can be a good way to turn a normally foul tempered bear into a monster.

Years ago when I lived on Kodiak the gill netters would sometimes shoot bear from just offshore with .22s, sometimes more than 100 shots in a bear. After a week or so the bear would be totally insane from the infection (blood poisoning?). This had a tendency to make life VEEEERRRY interesting for us on the coastal ranch.

If I had ever actually witnessed them doing it I think I would have had to "return fire" and I didn't carry a .22.

As it was I got in more than a few fights in town with "suspects".

An insane Kody is NOT fun. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif
