Larry.... Hard to tell size of that bear, being under a deck... Best I can tell is she has 2 cubs... Been watching her for about 2 weeks now... Some days it's like watching paint dry... I've seen her get up and leave twice now, where she goes, who knows... Must exit and return next to camera as she always moves camera on return trip... Must be remote controlled as you see it re-adjust and can hear it... This can be very addicting as I'm laying in bed watching her in my phone...

I hope the owners don't have anything heavy on that deck. That bear has pretty much demolished a couple joists.

Like she didn't chew enough of the deck, she was just ripping chunks out... Hope she's not eating it...

With temps in some areas hitting the 70's today she may have to turn the central A/C on!!  |

I just finsished a bear roast last night.Hands down,bear roasts beat any other roast I've ever eaten.I'm not crazy about bear burgers but they make good sausage.The roasts are like grass fed beef.It's strange because they're really tough when butchering but they fall apart in a crock pot.

That's the best way I like bear...roasts. Mom would roast cuts in oven with taters, carrots & onions. Most of Dad's bear was cut into many roasts. I know when Dad killed his 383 lb Sullivan County bear.....we ate bear for at least a year almost every week. It was yummy...of course you ate bear or you didn't eat!! Since then whenever cooking bear since then I look back & as always....Mom always knows best!!  |

To me, black bear is way better than deer.

Watching Live Cam this morning I could see a cub's head pop-up on far side(towards opening) of sow. Could clearly see head/ears. Neat!!

We had a work party at camp maybe 10 years ago. Kathy had a bear roast and we put it in the crockpot. My Dad hated bear meat, so, no one told him it was bear in the cooker.
Well, supper comes, and despite one slip of the tongue, Pop had no clue he was about to eat bear.
He takes a nice helping of the "beef" roast and when finished, he announced that was the best roast he ever had, and asked for a second helping.
We are all holding back as best we can until one person just couldn't help it. Lol
Pop was flabbergasted, and annoyed we tricked him. He asked several times if we were telling the truth, and all affirmed we were.
It's a great memory of a great guy, that we all still talk about.

Larry... I see the cubs every day... Scroll down further and there are posts from followers of the cam that have still pics posted...
As for bear meat... Love it... Last Jersey bear I shot in early archery was prior to my annual Illinois trip... I took about 15 lbs. of ground meat out to Illinois... Made burgers with it and everyone of the mid-westerners were amazed and ate two or more burgers...
