How can you tell exactly? I'm trying to learn. I drew a bear tag for next spring and I'm soaking up all the info possible. Thanks

Sow has pointy nose and smaller paws and ankles. Big boars especially squared off nose and you’ll notice big paws, ankles and forearms

We usually have one every few years, my favorite is our large carnivore biologist shot one by mistake while bear hunting maybe 12 years ago, can't make that up!

Dumped out beaver scraping from 30 beavers. The bears like like it a lot it’s all they have been eating. Downside is they grab a piece and leave. Extra downside is don’t get any Bette pictures of a bear I would like a closer look at

The one that happened last year that was the reasoning behind the ID testing now was pretty funny actually. The guy called F&G looking for guidance because he couldn’t tell 100% black bear vs grizz. F&G took a look at photos and said game on bud, that’s a BB.We usually have one every few years, my favorite is our large carnivore biologist shot one by mistake while bear hunting maybe 12 years ago, can't make that up!

Hoping to get the wife in the stand this weekend. Before we know it the rut will be picking up and you’ll never know what will show up. Anyone else getting out over the weekend?
I am. Leaving for a solo overnight trip. Was supposed to leave yesterday but the sickness the kids had finally caught up to me. Still kind of dragging ass but getting ready.

Earlier this week I got lucky and found this boar. Really been wanting a black phased bear ever since I started pursuing them. I was shocked at how heavy he was for only squaring about 5’7”. His teeth and attitude make me think he’s older.

Congrats!
I got out 3 times this week, didn't go after a good sized chocolate bear (last couple have been choc). Weather has made things weird here and am not even seeing grizzlies which I typically see everyday. Have been getting distracted by horns but that's good way to add some miles and enjoy day. I will get back after bears early next week. Good luck to those getting out
