    It is very possible and I had similar thoughts on the size too. I don't think it would be the hide from the bear took in May as that would have rotted in a week or so, but it could be a matter of the camera date being out of whack or more likely from a different bear. Too bad that was one of my crappy cams with a long delay and low res.

    Do you guys think it is a sow? Those hips... baby got back? Usually with boars on rear shots I see more under carriage like this (bear that keeps trying to kill me lol)

    Re: Bear carrying a dead cub?

    In the late 60's LT(LOVER 308 ) & I went moose hunting just east of Pinchi Lake. Shared a camping area with a couple of hunters.
    One of the hunters came along on a foot hunt & as the 3 of us were hiking a black bear & a cub appeared & the sow instantly sent the cub up a tree.

    Without warning the idiot shot the cub & it instantly fell to the ground from about 25 ft. The sow ran away.
    Both LT & I started yelling at the guy & told him to clear out of the campsite by the time we get back or else, which they did.

    The cub was fairly large.
    On our way back it was gone & no doubt carried away by the sow.
    There were no drag marks. Seems like she carried it away for quite some distance.

    It bothers me knowing people like this exist.

    Cool video Caddis, just a shot in the dark, could the bruin be carrying a dead skunk/martin/coon in its mouth?

    Anything is possible. I guess it's too grainy to tell. A lot guys on on here think it's part of a hide. Someone on another forum thought it might be a raven. It's possible it's some other critter.
