This has been posted here before but with the talk about grizzlies I thought I would post it again. Bear identification course and bear identification test. http://fwp.mt.gov/education/hunter/bearID/ Scroll down to find the links.

Got an 86.7% w/o even looking at the tutorial. I see a lot of black bears in my travels in the Olympic Black Bear Preserve (ONP). Last week had one run in front of my car on the Little River Road just outside ONP. Big lumbering beast, so beautiful.

Since I have no expectations of forgiveness, I don't do it in the first place. That loop hole needs to be closed to everyone.

I also scored the same I wonder if we got the same ones right wrong and if there are some trick pics.

I may not be the smartest, I may not be the strongest, but I don't want to be. I only want to be the best I can be.

I got 100%. Make sure you are checking ears, face profile, shoulder hump and front claws. Imo it's easier to mistake a black bear for a grizz than the other way around.
