Because of a black bear's preference for remaining out of sight of human eyes, a wildlife camera is the idea for finding out what might be in your forest or, for that matter, in your back yard. I use a Primos Truth Cam 35 wildlife camera. I paid less than a hundred dollars for the camera new, plus another thirty dollars or so for a rigid metal protective case, and my camera has been strapped to the trunk of one tree or another since before the snow melted this spring, and it's August 16th as I write this. The camera has held up fine through one of the wettest springs and summers I can recall, and it's taken some pretty nice photographs. If you are interested in shopping for a Primos wildlife camera, click on the Primos Truth Cam 35 image that you will see in the left margin of each of my pages and you will be taken to the appropriate page on Amazon.com. The cameras are available directly from the manufacturer but, the last time I looked, they were significantly more expensive from the manufacturer.
