Bear checking out the camera

After my last camera in this location was twisted and shut off by the bear, I swapped cameras and tied this one so it would be hard to move. Needless to say, the bear and cubs came back and the sow went for the camera again, giving me some closeups of her face and eye.



It was unable to move or hurt the camera but tried to bite and slobber all over the outside.

It wasn't about to give up, so it tired several more times to dislodge the camera and even ripped some bark off the tree.

One more try.
It finally gave up and went over to dig for bugs in the log.
