grundy53 · « **Reply #2 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:24:44 AM »

kinda looks like a grizzly...

grundy53 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:25:54 AM »

judging by the ears it looks like a good bear.

jhog · « **Reply #4 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:26:19 AM »

heres a close up of it

h20hunter · « **Reply #5 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:27:24 AM »

Interesting....

Color of the coat could be grizz.....from the size of the melon and ears looks like a pretty good sized bear.

Also...nice looking area. What else you got?

Scottystyle · « **Reply #6 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:31:11 AM »

Ummmm.... Ya thats a Grizz! What general area is that?

fillthefreezer · « **Reply #7 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:41:00 AM »

got any better daylight pics? definately looks griz'ish

kirkl · « **Reply #8 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:42:27 AM »

thats all the daytime ones. theres a couple night ones but there hard to tell.

kckrawler · « **Reply #9 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:43:46 AM »

What are you guys seeing that shows he's a griz?

Yeah, he's brown. It also looks like his eyes and snout might be black. Yeah, he has a shoulder hump, but it doesn't look definite to me. I don't see a large slope from his eyes and nose. I can't see his claws or tell if his ears are more round than pointed...I'd say he's a mature black bear

Just curious so I don't make a huge mistake, maybe you see something I don't

grundy53 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:46:49 AM »

I was looking at the hump and the head in the first pic and the ear in the second. Very well could be a mature blackie. But from the pics provided it Kinda looks like a grizz.

Houndhunter · « **Reply #11 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:58:20 AM »

Definitely not a grizz imo, im looking on my phone but I dont think its that big. Going off the structure of him it makes him seem like he's a mature bear but his over all size looks to be your avg bear. That's my guess, shooter for me though.

RadSav · « **Reply #12 on:** August 17, 2012, 09:00:04 AM »

Looks like a fine blackie boar to me! Need better pics to guess weight. But, definitely looks like a large mature male to me.

That first pic does make his back side look like a griz. But the ears and nose don't much look like one. Though you never know on large boars until you get a real good look. I had a 400# griz mounted in my shop years ago. About 9 out of every 10 people that looked at it thought it was a blackie. Some wouldn't even believe me when I'd tell them the truth.

Not sure if we have enough picture for the shoulder hump.....head down....shoulder blades sticking up....need more pics in the future of this bear.

these are crappy but its all i got

jhog · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2012, 09:15:12 AM »

sorry about the pic.

h20hunter · « **Reply #18 on:** August 17, 2012, 09:17:36 AM »

Shucks......to dark on my screen. Hope you get some more pics of him. I'm thinking a shooter for sure as long as he's a blackie.

I'd take him for sure if I could convince myself that he's black!

Hopefully someone with basic photo shop skills can lighten the pics for us non computer savvy types.

RadSav · « **Reply #21 on:** August 17, 2012, 09:57:59 AM »

The best I can do with my free Microsoft program. Definitely black bear.

jhog · « **Reply #22 on:** August 17, 2012, 10:08:33 AM »

I would have to agree, thanks radsav

Blacktail Sniper · « **Reply #23 on:** August 17, 2012, 11:44:34 AM »

Looks like a pretty nice black bear to me...

washelkhunter · « **Reply #24 on:** August 17, 2012, 11:50:49 AM »

im guessing it would sq out at 4.5. a solid 200lbs. med size. You can see a lot of ear and note that the belly is not real deep. Next year by oct it will be huge.

Scottystyle · « **Reply #25 on:** August 17, 2012, 11:58:08 AM »

Okay, If thats the same bear, thats a nice blackie. That first pic i was looking at the shoulder hump... Which I guess he could be standing off balance, to make the hump more pronounced. the other thing i was looking at was the length of the head and the blockiness of his snout. Most blackies Ive seen have shorter heads and rounder snouts. Hope you. Get more pics

BOWHUNTER45 · « **Reply #26 on:** August 17, 2012, 12:02:27 PM »

that bear will go alittle more than 200 lbs

That last pic is definetly a blackie. A nice one too.

nice work on the photo-lightening, too bad though, really wanted it to be griz...

Ripper · « **Reply #30 on:** August 17, 2012, 05:33:51 PM »

Just to be sure you should PM me the location and I'll go identify it myself!

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #31 on:** August 17, 2012, 05:35:18 PM »

Heck of a idea!!!

saylean · « **Reply #32 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:32:34 PM »

Decent sized colorphase blackie (IMHO). Good luck on trying to connect.

AarowFlingeR86 · « **Reply #33 on:** August 18, 2012, 09:38:58 AM »

That looks like a shooter to me.
