Bear Beds

A couple weeks ago while scouting I came across another bear bed but I did not have my camera with me. Today I was in the area and found it again. It has not been used since I found it but I took some pictures anyways.

I only noticed it because I nearly stepped in the many piles of scat. There were at least seven piles of scat, some on top of others. While taking a closer look I noticed the flat depression a couple feet away.

While looking over the various piles of scat I could tell that some were full of hair and others were just grass. I noticed what looked to be a bone. Upon closer inspection it became apparent that it was a portion of a fawn skull. I then took a stick and poked around a bit and found a fawn hoof.

Here is a bed that I found about 3 weeks ago.

This bed is next to and under a large tree.


You can see the claw marks on this root that is at the top of the bed.


I took this pic a few feet away from the bed.

Hope this bear does not have webb feet, cause he craps way to close to the
house.

Yea, they weren't going too far away were they. lol
I found another bed last weekend that was probably the same bear that ate the fawn, but I did not find any scat nearby or any bear hair in the bed. It was in a nasty spot and not a single deer hair in it.

I am near the West Coast of Washington state.
