Brown Bear Back Scratches

Occurred on June 18, 2019 / Anchorage, Alaska, USA

Info from Licensor: "For fun I set up my trail camera pointed at this tree about a mile from my home. My movement-activated camera with night vision caught several brown and black bears backing up to the tree for vigorous enthusiastic back scratching. I'd check the camera sometimes weekly or every couple weeks. This bear visited on more than one occasion. He was the largest. By standing next to the tree, I could extrapolate that this bear was 7 1/2 to 8 feet tall. A salmon creek flows several yards from this tree."
