it was just a bunch of destructive raccoons, Powers set up one of the new
Penn’s Woods DS-04 Digital-Scout camera systems as well as one of his
homemade video trail cameras to try to catch the little troublemakers. But

just about one hour after Powers set the cameras up on Wednesday night.
The bear has been estimated at approximately 250-300 lbs.
