Hey, here is a cool link to a Bear id quiz. It is put-on by the Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks Dept to get your Bear hunting license. But it is also fun to take just to see how you do. Good Luck

I took the quiz and got a 93%,pretty good since I have only ever seen a bear at the Louisville zoo once,wayyyyyyyyyyyy back when.
Guess I won't be bear hunting in Montana this year. Got a 73%.
Hey! Me, too. 93%. Not bad for a couple of Midwesterner's!!
you guys beat me, I got 87%
Thats ok dear,I'll still go to the woods with you!
LOL,i'd probably be hiding behind a tree yelling shoot.....shoot!:p
100%
I know my bears. Never hunted them, never seen one in the wild, I do however, know my bears.
whoa! congrats Frank, personally I shot one bear in my life, and I've always regretted it. Bear didn't deserve it, at the time I thought I was doing a service for people who lived in the area. I get to live and learn, that bear does not. No grizzlies in my part of the world but like you said, you know your bears.
Thanks.
We have bears across the street. I've found tracks, a bud was circled by one while turkey hunting, yeh, he got out of dodge fast.
I've been invited to hunt bears. I pers. would not shoot one. Not fond of the meat and the hide is just not that important. Many many years ago, I put 150 dollars on a downpayment for a Canadian black bear hunt, after considerable thought, I backed out and ate the cash.
Would like to see them, but at a safe distance. Most bears around here don't want anything to do with humans. We do have a good bear population in Georgia and many have been killed up in the higher mountains. Biggest I think was 550lbs, to me, that's a big critter.
I was lucky enough to see quite a few when we were in Alaska. Both black and grizzly. I was probably within 50 years of a grizzly in a dry river bed and there was an Elk between him and me! (I was inside a vehicle.:rolleyes:). That one experience gave me a huge respect for grizzlies. If you haven't seen one in the wild you can not imagine how freakin' big they are. I was just shocked.
I got 80%, I have only seen bears in zoos never in the wild. The hardest part is with the facial features, some are really easy to tell and others are hard.
93% for me.
I have saw a black bear while hunting in Southern Ohio. Kinda freaked me out, to be honest. I wasn't hunting when I saw it, but that is what I was doing in Southern Ohio. I was driving along a creek with my brother, he looked over and yelled bear and I hit the breaks, looked over and there stood a bear, and it took off running.
Next day in the paper it was stated there was a black bear spotted about 1 mile from where we saw it.
:cool: Aced that test, 100%. Bears is like kin to me.:p
100% I aced it 100%
Me and bears, we go way back!
What????? Didn't think people would believe you without the pic????
Hey, look! Trapperrick is certifiable!
Trapper Rick you gonna show that certificate to the bears so they'll know it's ok if you shoot them?:D
1st Bear to 2nd Bear: "Dang it, George. He's got a certificate. Look. He even scored a 100%."
2nd Bear to Trapperrick: "That is pretty impressive."
1st Bear to both: "I'll say. I don't think I'd score 100% on humans. You all look alike to me."
2nd Bear shaking head in agreement.
