It's an interesting one. I've gotten mixed answers from a few buddies who are experienced bear hunters. Some say black and some say griz. This bear was in Wyoming so it could be either. Our resident WA outfitter said it was a grizzly.

I don’t see the facial features of a griz on that bear.
Still hard to say.

This is what threw the other guys off too.

I’m shooting the first bear you posted.
It’s a black bear. Ears and face are that of a black.

This one has been a challenge to a few buddies. It is not a Washington bear for what it’s worth. I thought for sure it was a grizzly bear but some were not so sure.

This is a massive black, but I'm not pulling the trigger at this point until I watch it for a bit. The bear is too long, too big of a rear in proportion to the shoulders, and lacks the facial features of a grizz.
This bear would get me excited!
Post by: Oh Mah on July 14, 2018, 12:12:56 PM
Species and subspecies of bear known to have produced offspring with another bear species or subspecies include brown bears, black bears, grizzly bears and polar bears, all of which are members of the Ursus genus. Bears not included in Ursus, such as the giant panda, are probably unable to produce hybrids.
Since it bares on this subject i checked.Very interesting.

So I'd glass that a good while before I sent it, and if it ran off before I was sure then so be it.

I'm with KFhunter on the bear jackelope posted, at first glance you think it might be a grizzly but the face, ears, and rear end look more like a blackie, I think it's a big black, but I would wait till he turned his head to see the outline to make sure he didn't have a dished forehead. Then BOOM!This is exactly what I was thinking.

Just to be clear, the 2nd bear I posted a pic of is not the same as the 1st one.
I was referring to the first you posted in the sage, the second cinamon bear is a blackie for sure. Bang

And I'm not 100% sure on jackalope's second bear. I feel very confident the first one is a black bear. I should point out I don't have half the creds of some of the folks who seem to think it's a griz, but that doesn't change how I feel about it.
Post by: Timberstalker on July 16, 2018, 10:52:27 AM
There is absolutely no grizzly face resemblance, whatsoever.
The color is also wrong.

I'm still sticking with black. The "hump" just looks like a shoulder blade in a weird position to me. + the ear looks a lot like a black bear.
I have zero interesting photos to add. Keep 'em coming folks! This is fun.

Here's a better picture showing clearly, he is a black.
It's funny how a certain angle can portray something so differently.
