Title: Look at the claws on this bear
Post by: JC on April 23, 2010, 09:28:24 PM: This is an E-Mail I got sent the other day. Don't know if it is real. But It's a big bear! :yike:

Subject: Fw: Cusick, WA - Those are some claws.

This picture was taken north of Spokane about 50+ miles. Flowery Trail runs over the mountain from Cusick to Chewelah.

HOLY COW.....look at those claws.

This picture is just off the Flowery Trail Road ...out of Cusick.

Was photographing elk during that cold snap last week and happened on to this spike elk carcass.
There wasn't much left .... but based on what there were for tracks a bear had just left it.
Didn't see the bear so we put a remote trail cam up to see what exactly was feeding on it.

50 minutes later this is what showed up.. Look at the claws on this bugger!!
Can't say I've seen too many with that much claw in the fall.

Wow! For those of you that don't know Flowery Trail is the road the goes to the Ski Hill, 49 degrees North Exciting! He's definetly Griz!!

For those of you that do know the area, you might want to be careful! ;-)

I don't know of many folks who copywrite their trail cam pics.

FYI: You can google his name up. It may shed some light on the subject.

Post by: ICEMAN on April 24, 2010, 05:57:34 AM: A quick Inet search suggested to me that this is a Pic from a guy who worked on the PBS Nature Series "The Good, the Bad, and the Grizzly", Gordon Hoffman was a photographer on the series, I bet it is from his Gallery...
