Young bear I.D.
« on: June 20, 2023, 01:29:47 PM »
We rented a cabin with some friends last weekend and the previous guests left a lot of garbage right outside the kitchen window. Our first night there we had this little visitor arrive, not scared of us at all. There was some differing opinions as to what kind of bear this is, so I thought I'd see what you guys think?

Thanks guys. One person thought the ear shape leaned more towards griz, along with the more aggressive attitude.  The rest of us thought Blackie  8)
