What's your thought blackie or Grizz

[tribal]

Didn't have a gun with me in the pre season looking to set up my game cam was looking for a spot but could hear a bear cruisin around and getting closer tried to make my self obvious by making some noise and breaking some sticks. I had a 14" Bowie and some bear spray but he clearly wasnr concerned with me there and I didn't want trouble so I hooked it on a tree and split.

next day check the cam and less than two minutes after I left he came marchin into screen

whats your thoughts blackie or Grizz

[Beaverhunter]

What region

[BCbillies]

Looks like a colour phased interior black bear.

[j270wsm]

That's a tough pic to judge. Body position and the tree make this a tough one but I agree with bc billies. Blackbear.

[Rayne]

But it looks like a hump tho

[adamgarbett]

I shot a big ol blackie a few years back and he had a very distinctive hump on him, and looks like a very nice size bear you got there. Has he been hanging around? My bear mounts getting kinda lonely and that fella would mighty fine next to him :razz::razz::razz::razz:

[Sleep Robber]

First thought was Grizz cause of the distinguished hump that you can see. Decent bear either way though.

[BromBones]

Head down makes the hump look more prominent.

Tapered muzzle looks like a black bear snout to me.

Nice cinnamon!

[Brambles]

Color phase black bear....

[campking]

Agree colour phased black bear

[J_T]

My first thought was why did you locate a large tree in the middle of your frame? I agree, it appears to be a colour phase black bear. Nice bear. Nice hide.

[Glenny]

Hump there and the ear seems to kinda point forward. Could be of the grizzled variety. So what region was that?

[AlexPdHJ]

I'd go black because of the flat snout and no brow ridge.

[Glenny]

Take your gun this time. Bowie donna cut it.:)

[hntcrazy]

Color phase blackie my 2 bits...........

[Seeker]

My eyes must be failing me, I can not see a snout. I could not get the picture any bigger. I'm am not a bear expert, but I would lean towards a black bear as others have. Its a nice bear.

[wideopenthrottle]

can you check footprints?

[tribal]

It's a black bear I'm in region 2 and this is 25 km up Chilliwack lake road - I'm not all that into bear hunting so if someone wanted to go for a bear I could give them directions. I just posted it because when I looked at the photo the next day it made me look twice at what I was looking at.

[Busterpayton54]

There is the odd griz out that way as well...

[scotty30-06]
