Not sure how many of you do this, but I try to cut open the stomach of as many bears as I can, especially when we are not sure what they are feeding on.
Years ago I saw the contents of 3 bears that were killed the same week within a couple miles of each other and they all had completely different things inside. One had nothing but red huckleberries, one had a stomach full of Salal leaves (looked like salad) and the other was full of wood pulp and grubs.
In the past I have also found fawns, cambium and even surveyors ribbon.
Fall bear full of Evergreen huckleberry.
Spring bear full of grass and Salmon berry flowers.
Spring bear cambium.
Spring bear surveyors ribbon and grass.
