My neighbors at camp got this picture in early May of a nice black bear walking toward the treeline where my property begins. Any guesses as to his size?
Here's another look at him. Notice the deer not far from him, showing no concern:
This picture from my game camera from last fall looks like the same bear to me, although he would be heavier in the fall than in the spring:
My daughter and I both got drawn for bear licenses next fall...hope he hangs around until then.
