Pictures from Beckler Peak

July 19th, 2013-

We checked the camera today. Upon opening it up, we almost thought we saw a wolverine! Alas, it was the last picture of a bear we got. But still, we captured a picture of two BEARS, a mountain beaver, and at least one squirrel. For this trip, we left the camera up for 2 1/2 weeks. During setup, we were right in assuming the stripped bark next to the camera site was from bears. With the location of the camera, we presume that the bears may have ranges that intersect the nearby Wild Sky Wilderness (we were less than 1/2 mile South of the wilderness border.)

Enjoy the exciting pictures we collected below!
