bears w/ racing stripes
« on: July 18, 2013, 09:51:40 AM »
got two bears with racing stripes (spirit bears?) on this last one month soak.  total of 16 bears on 4 cams in one month.  few too many in my opinion.  and only two of the cams were baited.
here are the two with the mohawks.

hes definitely young, got 8 bears on cam on that spot, but that little guy with the racing stripe is the one who climbed the tree and twisted my cam, resulting in those sideways pics.  got every color of bear there just about.  also one good sized guy with his right eye gone and right ear bent forward, looks like hes been in some brawls in his time

NIce soak, season is right around the corner! I beleive a spirit bear is compleatly white though, there is a place in Canada that has a 10% population of them. And the natives beleive if you kill one you will be cursed by the hunting gods.

spirit bears are white blackbears mostly seen in Canada on an Island if I recall correctly, and it looks like you have a bear infestation and lots of young ones.
