Well, his tracks at least. This monster has been raiding my bird feeders the last four out of five nights. Ever since we had that freak warm weather.

Early morning, hardly any light out but too much for the flash to kick in.

I'm going to try to get a good picture of this beasty tonight, Wish me luck. I think I can get a shot off from the bathroom window, but I doubt a little glass will stop him if I piss him off.

Some neighbors that have seen him guess a minimum of 500 pounds.

Feel free to use any photo's that I post for any purpose that I don't find offensive. I'd be honored to find my pics used on that world wide web thingy....

I think I'll set up the tripod, 70-200L and the trigger in the bathroom focused in and ready to shoot. I'm debating a 400W halogen drop light that I can plug in right before the picture. I'm even going to bait him in with some leftover bacon, yummy.

If I succeed, I'll post it up tonight. He's been showing up between 7:00 and 10:00 pm eastern time zone.
