I'm going to just stick with one post for my bear pictures and videos. If you get sick of them just say the word and I'lls top posting. It's exciting to see whats on the camera every other day. I started using video so the camera takes on picture then a 30 second video.

make the videos full screen, it's easier to see the cubs.

Hard to tell but she has 3 little cubs with her.

I get to go along with our wardens and wild life biologists during their winter den checks and one of the things they do is change collars. I don't agree with the collars becaue they put them on snug with very little room to move so the bear can slide them off but it makes a nasty smelly rub mark on the bears neck. The collar they took of the male we den checked last winter had rubbed a soar in the bears neck. Watching a guy go down head first into a bear den with the bear laying there looking up at us was pretty intense. They tranquilized the bear but he was still awake. Thy estimated him between 450 and 500 pounds.
