Checking a Camera, and Setting 3 More for Black Bear fishing for Pink Salmon (Humpies)

Every pool in this creek that is over a foot deep has fish in it holding out and trying to survive the bears until the next rain. After the next serious rain the main run will fill this stream with thousands of fish.

Here are the 3 spots I set cameras

Set a Camera here for photos

Set a camera here for videos

I’ve used this spot before, but this is the first time I set a camera here for videos

I’ve had a camera here for over a year but I moved it to the other side of the creek, below is a video from the original tree.

Hiking and Checking Cameras 8/13

This creek is filling up with pink salmon, after the next serious rain the main run should show up

It takes a lot of luck to get good pictures with trailcams but sometimes everything comes together.

This camera sits in the bottom of a ravine, I was planning on moving it to an easier place to get to but it took so many pictures I had to leave it.

This camera sits at the top of the same ravine as the previous camera, it gets a lot of action.

Hunting Deer and Checking Cameras

At the end of a long day of wandering the woods and muskegs looking for deer and checking trailcams I filled 1 of my 4 deer tags on a young buck.

Put a camera back on this spot, it was pretty good during last years rut

Left a trailcam overlooking the gut pile, hopefully a bear will show up instead of just a mob of ravens and eagles.

Checking Cameras 8/1/22

Here are the the cameras I checked, I’ll be posting the highlights from them soon after I finish sorting them.

This is the second time I’ve checked this camera, it overlooks a funnel where several trails combine to form 1 that crosses this small ravine.

This camera watches a skunk cabbage patch.

This was the first check of this camera, I set it to watch a trail between a creek and a big muskeg. Lots of action here but the lighting isn’t real good, I may switch it to video.

This is a spot I’ve used for a few years, it watches a transition area between some big timber and open muskeg, and is full of deer and bear food.

This camera has been watching a sandbar on a salmon stream, it was real popular with deer but black bear are taking over now that the salmon are starting to show up. You can see more from this camera in the playlist on my youtube channel titled “Sandbar”.

This camera also watches a salmon stream, the fish will show up in big numbers at the end of the month, you can see last years run by checking out the playlist titled “A Small Salmon Stream” on my youtube channel. I move the camera to the other side of the creek to hopefully get better shots of the bears catching the fish.
