So the one guy says one was black and the other a grizzly! Now the pessimist in me is saying yeah right but he goes on to describe the grizzly as being brown and having a big hump on his back and so on.
Well what do y'all think? Sure would hate to mistake a grizzly for a color phase and shoot one. :tup:

There are grizzlies in whatcom county not to many but i do know that for a fact i know a guy who did mistake one for a color phase up there long story short he got some hefty fines so don't make that mistake
You mean he didn't practice the 3 S's?
People make mistakes and the State hammers guys that try to be honest about a mistake, so that's why a lot of us have found animals that have been mistakenly killed and then left by the hunter. I think you get fined more and face more jail time for killing a mistaken animal then you do for manslaughter, if that tells you how screwed up our system is. :twocents:

One has to wonder if WDFW fined a hunter for bagging a grizzly in Whatcom County, then why has they been claiming that physical proof of grizzlies has been a wee bit lacking?

I have been ranting for 2 years that WDFW should provide a grizzly bear test for bear hunters. Here is the Montana test, take it until you pass with 100% and you will be much safer of not accidentally shooting a grizzly bear.

Respectfully, I will fall into the highly skepticle catagory. That's 112 bears. On the north side of Baker? Where I've hunted my whole life? No, I'll fall into the "didn't happen" catagory. :chuckle:
:yeah:
No way could you drop off 112 grizzly bears in an area of about 200 square miles and not have carnage. Add to the fact that this would have been done without an EIS. The whole thing would have taken a rather monumental cover up, and would have resulted in a Pulitzer prize for any journalist who discovered such an event.
If this took place as a biological "black op", and was ever uncovered, there could very well be jail time for some participants, and several agencies could expect a thorough hammering by a number of politicians.
It never took place
