100% on the first try.  Personally I was expecting it to be harder. 

I think the one photo that a lot of people missed was the Sow with cubs.

I think it should be a requirement to get 100% correct in order to pass.  If you accidentally miss a question no harm no foul.  You accidentally miss identify a grizzly and shoot it your in a world of trouble.  Real life isn't a test.  Your not going to get off the hook because of the the 10 bear you kill only 2 were griz.  There is no 80% correct in real life.

I totally agree with you, there is no room for a mistake on bear identity in this day and age. :twocents:

100%

But don't be surprised to see one of the inland Grizzleys on the wet side of the Cascades. I've seen some sign that'll make your blood curdle west of the PCT. Miles west of the PCT!

I missed the sow with cubs one when I first took this test.  I really wish we had a better idea of how many we have here in WA.  People have been seeing them for years but the population still seems to be low.  With all the misidentification it is really hard to know.

Very true, I can tell you this, I have been hunting bear in WA for nearly 40 years for myself and many others and I have yet to see one, yet there are confirmed sightings, video taken of Griz, and an illegal kill that was prosecuted, all within 10 miles of where I live. I only live 3 miles from town. :twocents:
