Utah, youre about to have company

There will be some in CA. Soon. That’s what they want, so they will all of a sudden appear. Just like the several wolf packs.
CA. Fish and Wildlife just happened to have trail cams set out and found the packs. Sure, just happened to have cameras out where the wolves were. Millions of acres of forest service, but the cameras were in the right spot at the right time. They’ll never convince me they weren’t introduced. Just saw on the wife’s Facebook a couple days ago a large bear filmed in CA. It had a hump on the back of its neck and was the color of a grizz. But I’m no bear expert so if Black bears sometimes have a hump like grizzlies, then it was probably a Black Bear.

Find the grizz...

Your in the woods, not staring at a pic, you only have a couple of seconds? Are you taking the shot?

Maybe it's obvious to folks, but I hope I have at least made the point of why CPW doesn't take most reports seriously.

Brings to mind the story from 1979.....Pagosa Spings area near NM border....

The man who killed Colorado’s last grizzly bear

Forty years ago, Ed Wiseman killed the last known grizzly bear in Colorado. “It still amazes me the attack fascinates people,” Wiseman told The Durango Herald in an interview over the phone...

Lots of black bears seem to have a good size shoulder hump. This black bear appears to have a bigger hump than the griz the way he’s standing. I’ve glassed 16 black bears and 7 grizzlies this spring, and I still have to do a double check on occasion when I’m watching a bear.

Those things must all be eating pretty good. Bunch of fatso’s.
Are all those black bears?

 

[Deleted member 28227]

What’s your guess?

 

[Ben Lamb]

What’s your guess?

3 & 14. 14 is about 50% for me.

If all you are doing is looking at hte coat & ears, you're gonna have a bad time.

14 is a griz. I’m certain 3 is a black bear with some crazy coloration.

More important question.

Which bear is best?

 

[huntandfly]

More important question.

Which bear is best?

Well, there are basically 2 schools of thought…

The black bear I posted above that got away from me on 3 different occasions. He will haunt my dreams until I find him again this fall. So in other words...

 

[MTLabrador]

I also took a Sasquatch quality photo of a rare Colorado grizzly on Tuesday.

I can see that.

Given the scenario of a couple of seconds, #4 doesn't matter anyway - sow with cubs.

 

[Cheesehead]

Good news for Hank...maybe they’re getting close to NM and might help with his neighbor situation.

 

[NECALI]

What’s your guess?

According to the bear hunt society, which I found online, they are all grizzly bears for one or another of their reasons. They said the grizz have a distinct hump which the black bear lacks and grizz have a concave nose whereas a black bear has more or a rounded or Roman nose. All those bears in your pics have one or the other or both. So, beats me?
