Black bear destroys camera on beaver dam #Video

This bear just had that crazy look in his eye...the look that appears when the irresistible biological urge to destroy trail cameras emerges and takes hold. An addiction common to all bears that is manifested by compulsive camera-seeking behavior and the resulting high bears get once cameras have been destroyed.

We share many of our trail camera ‘successes' but this is a good example of a failure! We set up this camera on a beaver dam in a remote area in September knowing we probably wouldn’t be able to check it until winter.

This particular pond was quite scenic and seemed perfect for a camera. We retrieved the camera in late January only to find out that this big boy had destroyed it literally 1 day after we deployed it.

A real bummer but thats how it goes! Not the first camera we have had destroyed by bears and certainly won’t be the last!
