    1. No, by all means. Find a bear and get a photo. Bears love to be in selfies.

      Especially if you can crowd a mother bear's cubs into the shot. Great memories that last a lifetime.

  3. How to ID a bear by its scat.

    Black Bear medium dog sized scat, mostly twigs and berries.

    Grizzly Bear larger scat, mixed materials, smells of Bear spray and had bells in it.

    1. When avoiding a bear and trying to identify it, climb up a tree.
      The Black Bear will climb up the tree after you.
      The Grizzly will simply knock the tree over.

  4. Know the top spoor, nothing a bg fat jelly donut won't draw in, they can't resist jelly donuts, usually get a dozen from Fukin' Go Nuts, plop that box on a handy stump so the breeze drifts the scent of the donuts, and het ready. They get so focused on all that sugar and fat drenched pastry its all they can think about.

  5. There are eight species of bears, which include the North American black bear, brown bear, polar bear, Asiatic black bear, Andean bear (or spectacled bear), giant panda, sloth bear, and sun bear. These species are classified into three subfamilies: Ailuropodinae (pandas), Tremarctinae (short-faced bears), and Ursinae (all other bears). Just say'in.

  6. give them a wide berth. bears are our brothers and my spirit animal. but don't bother them.
    like an older brother, they will hurt you and break everything you have if you piss them off or intrude into their privacy.

  8. OK..... but what are the 4 shown here? First is black bear, last is polar bear, one of the remaining is probably the grizzly, what is the fourth? Aren't grizzlies and Kodiaks both subsets of brown bears?

  9. Black, Grizzly, Kodiak, and Polar.

    All of which are testimony to the fact that .50BMG is never too much gun for bear.

      Spoken like a man who's never been close to the latter two types of bear.
