I've read and heard that bears will use almost the exact same trail year after year. And, that those trails can be worn to the dirt. I have only seen one in person, where the bear footsteps were 2 inches deep through the dead fall leaves.
I pulled a cam yesterday and after this fella decided to reposition my cam, as they so often do
I ended up catching a bunch of bears running the same trail on different days and times of days.
I know this is old news to most of y'all, but I thought it was neat that I caught it on cam. It could be the same bear, but I have other pictures that suggest they might be different bears using the same trail. Of course I have no way to provide support for either idea.
Also, this is my last cam in the wilderness (unless I forgot one or two, which is highly likely). Deciding to go "no cam" this year and just hunt the sign (at least on public land). I've found myself in the past feeling wedded to my cam locations - sign or no sign, and I think that's a bad strategy. I am going to miss seeing the pictures, but hopefully it will be replaced with seeing more game in the wild.
