Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted April 19, 2009 500 branch pics is a good trade for one picture of that cinnamon bear. Congratulations! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willhunt4coues Report post Posted April 20, 2009 You are lucky he didn't destroy your camera. I just had a young bear destroy mine about a week ago. It seems the younger the bear the more curious they are. I have seen bigger bears just walk by mine and the younger ones love to mess with them and it always happens within the first 4 days of putting the camera out. Hope he don't get yours.

synper100 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 I've also had a bear destroy my camera. I had to put the thing in a steel box. Had bite marks all over the camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stalkincoues Report post Posted April 23, 2009 I guess I have been lucky. Have had about 4 cams in the dirt by bears. the worst damage they've done is shreded or broke the straps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted April 24, 2009 I always wipe my cams down with no-scent wipes before I leave. I figure it elminates as much scent and salt from handling as possible and helps keep bears from investigating. So far so good, but of course there is no guarrantee!
