Title: What color phase do you call this one?
Post by: Pete112288 on August 31, 2018, 05:18:21 PM: So I got this guy on my cam a few times. I normally only get blacks and don't have much color phase experience. What would ya call this one? Chocolate? Cinnamon?

Had him on camera in June and early July too but they were not the greatest pics. I really want that bear. Its the only non black one I have seen in the area. A couple days I have slowly picked my way through the whole area working into the wind and glassing some near by clear cuts. Another couple days I sat in my treestand overlooking the area the video was taken for a whole morning or so and tried some calling. The berries havent held them in this area as much so far this year. Have yet to find anywhere with steady sign. Last year by this time I couldnt walk 20 feet in that brushy stuff without stepping over a pile of bear crap.

At least you have a few more months! I can't get into the woods until about the second week of October.

Keep me posted on the progress!

I’m going to disagree. I think he’s actually a bit on the small side. But he looks really pretty and it shouldn’t dissuade you from popping him!

Good luck!
