found this bear den last fall.
Was scouting for beaver sign along a river and seen where a bear had buried into a beavers bank den.
Went by this morning, stuck a flashlight in there and he was awake looking at me.
Not a big bear (250ish) but was kinda cool.

That is very cool.
Might have small cubs?

Ok...no bears down here where I live. What am I looking at? That little crack in the snow? We’ve got gopher tortoise holes bigger than that. How’d that bear get in there and how’s he getting out?

Once is enough. I wouldn’t want to get that close again.

That's just the opening. Mostly snowed in over winter. Probably belly-crawled in.
Theyre more/less an oversized trash-panda.

I wonder if that's what was going on here. I thought a bear might have gone in after the beaver but maybe it spent the winter in there. [Linked Image]

I put a trail cam on a den and got this video. Learned a lot from the experience.
