Bear Poop ?

[Demonical]

Yesterday, I went for a tour of the hunting area, to check things out and retrieve the memory card from a trail camera.

I took a picture of bear s**t, on the trail, and it's got berries in it.

So did this bear find a patch of left-over berries from last fall, or did he have this in his gut all winter, and just finally s**t it out?

Bear s**t, there were a few berries in it... ??

Average size track.

The trail was clear because of logging operations; the bush has anywhere from 2' to 7' of snow everywhere, where I was.
In this bottom pic, the snow was above my head & I'm 6'3".

Pics of a decent bear from the trail camera. Date is wrong I ####ed up and didn't setup the camera correctly...

Deactivated... f**ked is more like it...

U r a lucky bastard to live there that's all I can say!

I can't see berries sitting in stomach acid that long over hibernation. Good luck bear hunting. I'm in bantario we don't have a spring hunt

Yeah, and we don't have snow left over on the 10th of May either. Beautiful looking country in spite of the white stuff though. How long before the flies emerge...they are full strength up north here.

Looked more like a demon dump.

No bear bells, rings, cell phones so gotta be a blackee for sure.
Any garbage piles, dumps or so in the area?

 

[Why not?]

Looks like low bush cranberry to me. They stay well-preserved under the snow all winter, and the bears, as well as us, find them in the Spring.

Why not?, thanks for that. That seems to be the consensus of opinion, of the people that know anything about bears.

Nope. This is remote country. Closest human habitation is 25 miles I'd say.

Ted, you made my mouth water for that delicious cranberry jelly, made from the swamp type berries, where you waited until the swamp froze, to pick them.
We don't have them here, but I grew up with them and they were my favourite relish.

Cranberry jelly, cranberry cake, even just boiled up with a bit of sugar and spread on toast its good.

The first freeze in the fall is okay and helps them ripen, but not long after that they tend to turn to mush in your fingers. I'm better at eating them then picking them anyway.

Demonical, I hope you get a chance to poke that guy, he looks like a good one.
