Wasn’t spooked as I had pictures for over an hour after it was sprung. 3 good bears on this site, allowed to snare two and shoot one here.

Good memory LOL, I had the top Bear at fur harvesters last year. On a sidenote missed the big one again last night but ended up catching a smaller one about 200 pounds. The big one sprung the snare again so I’m thinking he’s pushing the snare in when he puts his paw in.
