Post by: steen on January 16, 2014, 07:59:52 PM: I shot him in Eastern Wa. just over the mountains and the other photo was a head shot, but I couldn't get the photo turned the right way. The pictures didn't turn out to good when I shot him due to just before dark harvest. I have some of the cape the day after taking him.
Here's a picture of him on the ground, not a big bear,( a two year old) but it may be my only opportunity to take a blonde bear. He had some rubbing on his shoulders or he may have been more of a cinnamon colored bear. I'm glad I took him!
