The cardboard box contains mostly shredded paper and used paper towels, but it also has some food scraps. The bear raids my compost pile every night, and sometimes during the day. As you can see, he has the box open and is investigating. My Primos Truth Cam 35 wildlife camera is mounted on a tree just outside of the roped area. At night, it flashes when it takes a picture. The black bear has already tried to maul it once, and he'll turn his attention to it again, but he's obviously not intimidated. The compost pile is about a quarter mile from the road on our hundred-acre plot that we refer to as Petra, Maine.
