I work in the woods, so most days involve some sort of wildlife encounter. Sitting in the truck for a bite of lunch last week this little fella(maybe 125lbs?) came out and was halfway across the road before I remembered the camera was in the glove box. Sorry for the poor quality, but a rush job and through the windshield to boot. I'm wondering, is he finding much to eat?
A few days later in the woods, I find these two piles of poop, enough to fill a dinner plate. One beside the saw the other 6' away (seen above the hardhat in the 2nd pic.)
Did that little guy lay those down or are we looking at the sign of a much bigger bear? A friend says poop is not a good indication of size as after Christmas dinner his would look like a 6'5', 300lb man whereas he stands 5'7" maybe 160lb. Good point I'm thinking, but there can't be a whole lot for the bear to eat right now, but maybe.
What do you think?
Regardless I'll be in a tree stand over a bait pile(only legal way here in Nova Scotia) in this area this fall. We own this land, so no problem with access.
