I have two camera traps currently set up in my back woods — one in an open clearing targeting bears and bobcats, and the other on a fallen tree, targeting raccoons, opossums and other small creatures. But more often than not, the bears and bobcats show up at the trap I’m not expecting them to. This guy came by the other night and climbed on top of the fallen tree. The shot is a full crop — the bear just managing to get his entire body in frame. Nikon D3300 with Nikkor 18-55mm lens (at 23mm) ISO 400, f/16 at 1/160th of a second, Camtraptions housing and triggers, Nikon SB-900 flash units.

This guy looks as hough he had a good winters nap since he’s pretty chubby. Amazing that he’s in such close proximity to humans.
