I came across this bear just waking up comming home on my sled. She is right behind our house. About 600 yards away. To really see her you need to zoom in but if you do you will note that in the first pic, she is just getting up. The second pic is 2 days later and she has been out and about. You can kinda see in front of her are some brown spots in the snow. When she was out yesterday, I went down to the corner of the field and had a close look at them. They are holes she dug down to the ground to find food. There is three of them and they are 4 feet long, 2 feet wide and 4 feet deep. We still have a ton of snow so she has no feed. Sooo I took a bag of scraps on up farther away from the house and left them. When I went back later last night, she had eaten them and thats when I got the other pic. I have met her a few times last summer on my wheeler and her mother chased me off when she was a cub 3 years ago while I was picking wild strawberries [thats another story]. So she is not that bothered by me. Anyway the reason I was carrying the camera was I was trying to get pics of those 4 moose I saw a couple of weeks ago. They've tore my trail all to %&*# but do you think I can get a picture? All I keep finding is fresh piles of moose%&*# so I decided what the hey and took a pic of that!Got those pics backward I think.

As big as they are you would expect moose to have bigger turds not over grown rabbit pellets. I notice the darnest things. Love the bear pics

I knew this forum would make the most comments about the poop, not the bear itself.....

I thought that this would be the place where I would find appreciation for my photography skills. I never noticed that it looks like overgrown rabbit pellets but you're right. Actually they are overgrown rabbits. Except for rutting season, then, well I just give them lots of space. And the bear, well she's not much trouble. She did come and look in the living room window once when she thought we wer'nt home bit dissapeared pretty quick when she realised we were home. Theyve been trying to catch her or shoot her for a long time. She goes on the neighbours deck once in a while. We are the last resedence on our power line so there is no one on the downriver side of us for a long ways. Thats why they all hide out here . We just make sure there is no food left around and we have a retriever that stays on our 5 acres most of the time so the wildlife seems to know how close they can come. Although a few years ago, I had this bears mom come up the deiveway to about 40 feet from me while I was planting flowers. She saw me about the same time as I saw her and she just swung around and headed up the hill.

we do appriciate your photography its well nice.We just like your snowmobiles that much more. I'm jelouse you have that wilderness in back and to the side of you. Bears are nice creatures to be appriciated from far away or in a zoo. Moose they just taste good. Your mud season should be coming up real soon. welcome to the board by the way just dont talk to the hobos on the side of the trails they follow you home.

"Life style" I've heard that before, no offense to those who are of course
