Title: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: bearpaw on June 15, 2009, 06:51:21 PM: All Bear hunters hunting in northern WA, Idaho, or MT should take this test. It is required before you can hunt bear in Montana, but the other two states should also require it.

Take this test until you are 100% every time. This test will save someone a lot of grief.....

Once you score 100%, post it here!!!!

Post by: bearpaw on June 15, 2009, 07:05:22 PM: I know everyone's time is valuable, that's why you can't afford not to take this test.

Just take the test at the bottom of the page if you already know how to recognize grizzlies....

Post by: Houndhunter on June 15, 2009, 08:04:44 PM: i passed but not 100%, why take it over and over till you get 100 :dunno: it shows you which one you got wrong
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: bearpaw on June 15, 2009, 09:15:23 PM: Great guys...it may save someone a hassle someday...First time I took it several years ago I did not get 100%...I take it every so often just to feel safe.

Imagine if the one photo that someone may have missed had been in an actual hunting situation. That is why I recommended repeatedley taking it.

Several states outfitter or guide tests are open book tests, they are not concerned about if you would have missed an answer or not, the purpose is to ensure you know the answer to every question when you are done.

:chuckle:

I am surprised so many of you were 100% the first try, that's good. They do change the photos every so often, so it's worth checking it every year or two.

Post by: bucklucky on June 16, 2009, 09:23:51 AM: First try 100%, that was way to easy, if you missed some you better start studying bears so you dont kill a grizz ;) There was one at the beginnig that I was pretty sure it was a black bear but was real decieving.
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: jeepasaurusrex on June 16, 2009, 10:44:58 AM: 93%, missed 1. I missed the one with the sow and cubs. I think I just read the question wrong and hit the answer too quick. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: jackelope on June 16, 2009, 10:47:17 AM: 100% and registered first time thru.
i've taken it before...cool test.
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: Big Guy on June 16, 2009, 08:49:12 PM: 100% first try...peice of cake
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: shanevg on June 17, 2009, 02:37:51 PM: 93% first try. The black phased grizzly got me, other than that it was pretty straight forward.
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: norsepeak on June 17, 2009, 02:54:56 PM: 93% female with cubs got me...
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: actionshooter on June 17, 2009, 03:01:44 PM: I got 93% and the one I missed, I knew was wrong as soon as I hit the button.
I guess the same could be said for pulling the trigger, can't call the shot back!!

i did that too, they need to have yes on one side no on the other and have it stay that way the whole time, they keep switching sides :chuckle:

Post by: Huntbear on June 17, 2009, 06:28:32 PM: 100% first try and I am not a bear hunter per say. I am an opportunistic bear hunter.
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: Moose Eyes on June 17, 2009, 09:46:18 PM: First time through and 100% with no studying. But I read the questions carefully and didn't rush my answers ;).
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: hunterbuilder on June 17, 2009, 09:56:45 PM: 100% first try here. It was easier than I thought it would be.
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: Black Ghost on June 17, 2009, 10:03:17 PM: 100% too easy

Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: jeepasaurusrex on June 18, 2009, 08:33:53 AM: I think that is a loaded question anyways. Wouldn't shoot a sow with cubs. There should be that option on the answers. :twocents:

Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: Pat/Rick on June 20, 2009, 04:26:50 PM: Missed 1.
Title: Re: Black Bear / Grizzly Bear Test
Post by: bearpaw on June 20, 2009, 11:01:04 PM: It's great that so many are taking this test and doing so well, someone needs to convince the DOW to add it to their hunting page. Education is always a good thing. :twocents:
