Heres a picture we got off our property in the 49 deg unit. Not sure if it is one or just the angle.

Another vote for moose calf.  The legs are too long to be a bear.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I originally would have agreed with the moose calf theory, but if you look, there is something that "could" resemble an ear on the left side, and the way the right front leg is turned and angled is strange.  Not sure that I have ever seen a Cervid with its leg angled like that, almost like it is "pawing" at something?  :dunno:

Not a Grizzly.  Moose calf would be more likely the culprit.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Just judging from the length of the rear leg  it can't be a bear. The hock isn't even in the picture yet, probably 2 more feet of leg not in the pic.  :dunno: I say Moose calf.
Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or destroy it, piss on it and walk away!

Most definatly a moose, if you blow the picture up you cn see the fresh dung next to the calf, also from my experience grizzly's dont have a calcaneum (heel that never touches the ground) as seen on one of the rear legs in the photo.

If thats a moose calf, my salt block must be 3ft tall. Heres a calf mooses legs! and the droppings are from elk. There are alot of elk on this block everyday but never a moose.

Here is a baby moose that looks close.  Maybe it looks short because the legs are cut off?

Changing my vote to baby moose.
