Having a hard time believing it is what I think it is.  Second pic for point of comparison.

I think it's technically goldenrod but weve always called it "dingweeds"

Looked like a bear to me but we just don’t have them around here.   Pretty cool.

If he sticks around, he can eat all the cams he likes.  You get them down your way a lot?

I've only had bears " nudge" my cams so far, but a couple buddies have had them destroyed, and a couple are actually MIA, but still sending random pics, lol.

Lol.  Bear are so rare aroubd here, they make news when spotted.   I  am not too worried.  Wish he would stay for a bit.

We will have one or two tearing up bird feeders in the spring occasionally but that may be a resident, very cool

Yes!  Moog is gonna fight a bear!  

Bears showing up in Spring is a little more common as the young ones explore.

But you're right, very rare this time of year.

Did they cut corn nearby recently?  I had one show up in November in Rush right after they cut corn.

I was thinking maybe he was living happily in the corn until they cut.

Also had one on cam in northern Avon this past Spring.

Definitely a nice sized bear! Is this from your property close to home? Bear are fairly common in these parts of Albany County. We got one on camera a couple nights ago. But we rarely see them when hunting this time of year.

Just say the word and @Rustyand I will send you a few truckloads from northwest NJ. I would conservatively say that for every trail cam picture I have of a deer, I have over 50 of bears. You would think the opposite, but we remain overrun.
