Had me a visitor yesterday.

After having lots of Whitetail deer, moose, elk, turkeys, bobcats, coyotes and 2 wolves wander through my property, I was graced with this great creature the other day.
Took a short video of him and pulled this still from it. He went behind my game camera so didn’t get a shot of him on it. Moved the camera back so if he comes through again, maybe I can get one.

nice visitor and photo thanks for posting
thank goodness we do not any around here my wife would be trying to make a "pet" out of it 😲 she was just out in the yard trying to make buddy's with a Racoon offering up marshmallows 🤨 and looking for the skunks evening visit
side note I find it funny just a couple hours ago I was thinking back as a young kid traveling in the smoky mountain's and watching the people feeding the black bears . and of course the bears had learned people were going to pass out food . times were different and I have to wonder how many people were injured while out side there car for that special photo or movie moment
way before news and internet was 24/7 instant news
I am about 90 miles west of Spokane. 24 miles south of Kettle Falls on Lake Roosevelt.
It is a Cinnamon bear, a member of the black bear family. Looks like a Griz but it’s not.
There are also Cougars in the area. I haven’t seen one yet but my neighbors have.
Years ago (50?) I spent some time with friends up around Ione-Metaline Falls. It was pretty wild country back then. I spose now it's not so much but still beautiful I'm sure. I would see cinnamon phase bears in MT once in awhile, but blondies were more common.
...Beautiful animal, regardless he/she could still bite holes in your skull, crush it...then have you for lunch, or maybe dinner...
...I had a Black Bear wonder thru my camp one night, checked everything out, glad he wasnt interested in coming into the tent with me...
...I saw a guy being dragged 100' IN his sleeping bag one night before he managed to get out 😁😲 bear had clamped down on the foot end of his sleeping bag....seems he had put a bunch of jerky and dried fruit in his sleeping bag to keep it safe 😁...stupid is as stupid does...
...The coolest sighting I ever had was down in Big Bend...a Mountain Lion was circling camp about 50 yds out one night...had heard him growl and found him with a flashlight, theyre a lot bigger in person!...
I remember more than a few afternoons in north Idaho with a mama black bear and cubs enjoying the huckleberries along the path between my cabin and the barn. Horses always ate late on those days.
Signal that the Bear Stock Market isn't over. Dow was down 638 Today .
Speaking of huckleberries. Back when I lived in the Seattle area, there was a treeless ridge behind my house that was covered in huckleberries bushes. When they were ripe, there would be at least six bears grazing on the berries. I had loads of fun buzzing them with my Cessna 140. Those bears can run when they need to! I wish I had taken videos of it.
