I have gotten quite a few trail camera pictures of bears on my place in Colorado. I’m pretty sure some of them are really nice bears. I just don’t know how nice.
I get most of the pictures on the same camera that is a pretty good location for all kinds of other animals as well. I go back and forth and look at where other animals are in the same spot but it’s tough to get them in the same exact place for comparison.
I’ve had a few people suggest putting a T post with alternating paint every 6” to help try to judge them but not sure that is going to tell me much. No baiting in Colorado, but I could put an empty 55 gallon barrel for comparison like people do for bait and just not put anything in it.
This is a great trail camera spot in a high traffic area and I don’t want to mess that up whatever I do.
Any suggestions?
Here’s some pictures from this spring:
