Some of you may or may not have known that James went bear hunting this fall. We live close enough to the forest that James was able to maintain a bait site. He mostly used popcorn covered with used cooking oil and sugar, dog food, and molasses that he bought from the animal feed store. He also put up a trail camera so he could keep track of what was eating the bait and when. It has a motion sensor so it takes a picture whenever it "sees" anything move. It also records the date, time, moon phase, and temperature. These are some of the pictures he got.

James had a really good time hunting bear and was able to get one! We made a whole bunch of breakfast sausage out of it, and it is really really good! We all like it. Here is a picture of the skin.
and a closer look at the claws!

YEA FOR JAMES!!!! I am so excited for him that he got his bear!! I will have to call to congratulate him. YEA!!
I hadn't heard about your bear until I stopped to read this tonight, James. Way to go! Your automatic camera is doing a great job, too. And to think it's all happening on good old Moscow Mountain!
What load did you use?
Uncle Jim
Congrats on the bear! That's wonderful. I love your camera set-up, looks like fun.
