nice lookin bear.
did it have a hump on it's back at all?
what are the main differences between that bear and a grizz?
just the face and paws?
I have my eye on a bear like that, but I can't tell if it is a grizz or not.

That first link is definately a good one to try. Taking the test will show one how much he knows about bears. I had one in my scope last week that for 15 minutes we watched him and swore it was a grizzly. Moved in on him and he gave me about one second to realize I was watching a 7 foot color-phase black bear and was gone. I shot a 6 1/2 footer last year and this guy was without a doubt bigger. I still lay in bed at night kicking myself but he most definately could have been an arguement for a black bear/ grizzly hybrid.
