Norwestalta OP trapper N Joined: Dec 2021 Alberta	My trapping partner and I put a 48"x 16" mirror in the bush with a video trail cam watching it. Well wouldn't you know it a day later a black bear come by. Well he didn't know what to think when he saw himself. If you got nothing to do and want a good laugh you should give it a try.

I seen a video a while back of just that. Not sure if it’s yours or someone else did it too. But it was pretty funny. Cold as ice! Clique non-member

Unfortunately we set the camera to only take 20 sec videos. It is kinda comical when he sees himself and jumps back. I showed my 4 year old grandson and spoke like the bear. He laughed and laughed.

Took long time to pick up all the shards, lol. I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.
