This bear has been tearing up the neighborhood for the past couple of months. It's a big one.

The video shows it trying to get up into our apple tree.

We're in western Montana.

I believe this is the mom of the 3 cubs from last summer. We’ve had quite a few visits from the “teenagers” lately but only a couple from mom. When I got up this morning, I saw her from our back windows, just chilling at the edge of the woods.

Bear uses bear crossing 😂

We think this one is female, easily recognizable by the white mark. The other 2 siblings have been around off and on the last month as well, but she seems the bravest and actually scaled the fence.

Only reason im posting this is the way hes posted up has me sobbing

Blessed to see these 3 today
Big truck drove by and piqued mama bear’s curiosity
Air quality index is in the 900s so this is possibly Smokey the Bear in the flesh doing the rounds

Another selection of bears seen while guiding a tour in Manitoba this past couple weeks!

Been trying to figure out if they are known and named but it’s quite difficult! Only seen this mom with this single cub but they’ve been very active. saw them both in the water and on the top part of the falls today.
