Main pad looks more black too, griz are much wider than they are tall and this one looks nearly as tall as it is wide.

Post by: KFhunter on September 24, 2022, 04:07:36 PM: I wasn't sure if it might be a grizz cub, I've never seen grizz cub tracks before :dunno:

The tracks were small, cub size

There's supposed to be a grizz in this drainage I was in, found out afterwards, but there's blacks too

So I wasn't 100% on type of bear

The pad shape says blackie though
