Thar' Be Bars!

Bear traffic certainly picked up over the week, was quite shocked actually that my father's old molasses and fryer oil drip worked, and all the sour apples I threw on the ground.

Checked the card today and dropped more apples, spread more bear candy on the trees, and the molasses drip was still 3/4 full - it should last another month at least.

Here are the videos:

I'll just post the entire video folder link here, if you're all bored - take a look and tell me how many separate bears (besides the three cubs) you think I'm looking at: http://1drv.ms/1va9l9y

My personal favorites: http://1drv.ms/1zkH6CT http://1drv.ms/1vaabmS (that jug is 12 feet high)

You have a 24 hour diner for sure, how many bears is hard to say, if you could sneek in there and get us some close ups that would be helpful

Great vids! like that second one in your fav two on his hind legs.

Based off previous camera pictures, and other camera footage it appears I have at least one sow, we call her "Mamma" with three cubs (we don't have a name for them yet), there is another young, "skinny" bear we've been seeing all summer long, we call it "Twiggy"; and there appears to be a larger boar (as seen in my favorites) we've been calling "Pops".

So far, that's what we're seeing on three different cameras, same bear - cameras are spread across a 3km distance. Got some moose, elk, deer, and of course - plenty of raccoon on the other cameras. I have seen ONE doe on the above mentioned camera until I switched to bear baiting.

Cool,love the videos. An Alberta outfitter noticed a bear travelling 5 miles to hit baits.

Nice footage!
Hope to see a picture of you with a nice big bear that's been decorated with your tag soon!

As stated in the Big Game sub-forum, we noticed the sow now has four cubs. We have hundreds of pictures and video of her with three, but never four. There are also some curious videos, and a couple personal favorites as well - enjoy!

This one was great because I had never seen them leaving the area using my path - that path leads right to my platform stand:

This is the one we call "Monster", I'm sure he's small in comparison to some viewers but he's the biggest one we have. Taller than my camera and it's mounted four feet off the ground.

A good shot from the feeding area to my platform stand.

There are a couple more interesting ones I wanted to show, like the bear licking my camera - but for some reason I can't get them to upload to my Onedrive. I'll continue trying to fix it however.
