Checking the game cameras at our West Hill property this weekend. It's not unusual for me to get bear photos with game cameras, but this time a bear cub had ear tags. This game camera is located a short distance from homes and corn fields. The ear tags indicate the bear cub had been trapped, most likely for being a nuisance bear around homes.
The bear cub was traveling with a much larger bear that must have been its mother. Mother bears will travel a home range of 6 to 15 square miles teaching their cubs where to find food sources, such as bird feeders, corn fields and apple orchards.
