Black bear or grizzly?

[Founder]

Saw this bear yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s a normal black bear or a young grizzly. What you all say?

Snout looks a bit more like a Blackie.

Go lift up its tail and look closer at the lenght/width.

 

[schoolhousegrizz]

I would say black

 

[SS!]

Not sure how anyone could legitimately say either or based off that one picture.

It looks to be a Black Bear but I wouldn't be confident enough to shoot it on a black bear tag.

Black! Boom! Ah, crap! That happens all too often and the media has a field day with it.

Yep, I'd say it's a black bear BUT I'd get a way better look or not shoot.

Looks like a black bear to me

It's so obvious.

Ursus Yogianus. Definitely not your average bear.

Any bucks?

Black bear

^ definitely a wade lemon client.

In an area with both that pic alone isn’t enough to be 100%.

Looks like a blonde color phase black bear to me

I would lean towards black bear, but not enough to pull the trigger if I were somewhere with both and only able to shoot one or the other.

It's a black bear....you can tell by the color.....SHOOT!!!

Only way I'd shoot that bear is if I was in desperate need of a pillow case.

I'm pretty confident it's a black bear.

I'm pretty confident it's a black bear.

...and also pretty confident that it won't cover a very big pillow....lol
