I found this bear along the Androscoggin River in Shelburne, New Hampshire. Look like he/she was tagged for some reason. Unfortunately the bear had a wound on its back right leg. I don't know if it had been shot or what but the bear was limping pretty bad. It was still able to swim across the current in the river after I decided to let my presence known. Maybe a good winters nap will heal up that leg.
