Trail cams

What do you do if you're a bear and you find a beaver dam? Answer: anything you want including trying to demolish it if a Midwestern trail cam is to be believed.

I spent a good part of my childhood enjoying the Missouri outdoors near my grandma's farm. That's probably why I still spend more time than I probably should watching trail cam videos. One Missouri cam had a most curious creature appear and I can't pinpoint exactly what it is.

It's interesting when Missouri trail cams capture wildlife passing by. It's even better when that wildlife is a bear who decides to not just pass by, but get up-close-and-personal with the trail cam like one black bear did.

You have to place a trail cam at exactly the right place and have it ready at exactly the right time to capture a wolf pack walking by. Imagine the odds of recording a pack made up of almost all black wolves which is exactly what just happened.

It's not unusual for a bear to be big. Duh. However, a Midwestern trail cam has revealed one big a** bear that apparently ate everything.

Bears are capable of some amazing things. They have an incredible sense of smell and are some of the most feared predators in the wild. If a Missouri trail cam video is any indication, they can also walk around like they're Bigfoot.
