What happens when a bear finds your trailcam

 

Kevin Keeney of Ferrum just sent me a great series of trailcam photos from a neighbor. He calls the series: "Before bear, bear, after bear."

The bear shot, of the animal's snout, is pretty funny. But I just love the upside down buck shot.

Here's how Keeney concluded his note: "You may want to suggest to your readers that it is a good investment to get a steel camera box, or metal cage to enclose their trail cameras in. The bears seem to think the more expensive the camera, the better it tastes."

Well put.
