JCM 9,130 #1 Posted October 2, 2020 Pulled the SD card from the trail camera Wednesday to find this picture that was taken on 7-1-20. I didn't know I had a helper out back on the trails. For those of you that went for the trail ride at the M&G this is 20' off the main trail about 300' from the house that leads to the back section before you cross the brook on the left hand side. Unfortunately not the best picture. Any experts wish to guess the approximate weight . 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troutbum70 857 #11 Posted October 3, 2020 My thought is more in the 250 to 300 range, either way I would not want to do hand to paw combat with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing to be afraid of from Maine bears. Never been a documented wild bear attack here. The incidents of bear/human interaction are caused by us doing incorrect behaviors.
