All color phased??

[xXLojackXx]

I've had my trail cams set up in my bear area and have seen 13 different bears and ALL are blonde/cinnamon. Anybody have a rhyme or reason why I can't find a black bear?  (diet, weather temperatures, genetics?)

Those color phase are a dime a dozen. You are right......the all black are the hard ones to find. Maybe you need to let me in on where this bear bonanza is so I can thin the gene pool a bit. We'll do that for a few years then see if any of the black ones move in. What do you think?

I really want a color phase this year! Hope I can find one and keep off the trigger if I see a black one first! I have kills 2 blacks so want a color for a front half mount!

Ive never seen a color phase on the westside.   I wouldn't be complaining about see any color phase bears.

Heck yeah! Shoot one of them colored bears. I have been looking for a colored bear for a few years. The blacks are all I can seem to find

I see alot of cinnamon bears in one area I hunt but never seen any big ones ...mostly cubs and little ones ... I killed a couple dark brown ones with a blondish orange color down their backs ....I am ready for bear season to start but I will be going mostly in September ....August will be to darn hot

This year in Winthrop I have seen 3 Cinnamon 1 blond (small bear) and 2 black bears. The black bear I watched Saturday night was a really nice bear and is 1st on my list come Aug. 15th.

Genetics.

Ya, its kind of strange though. I have laid eyes on 2 sows with cubs that are easily 275-300+ and three boars that will go over 300, all are cinnamon. And it is a westside unit so I'd like to take a black one as well, just havent seen any. Theres gotta be something to it, because last year I didnt see any blacks either. Maybe its a question for a biologist. And D Rock, no complaining here  I'll have no problem shooting 2 colored bears if they feel like catching lead.... Hopefully I'll have some pictures to show come the opener.

Here's a pic of mama and cubs

You just need a buddy with a hot spot like that with all blackies in it! Want to trade?
