BEAR ID Quiz

[DOGMAN]

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

100%

I know my bears. Never hunted them, never seen one in the wild, I do however, know my bears.

[trax]

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.

[FVR]

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.). 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.

[crashdive123]

What????? Didn't think people would believe you without the pic????

[Rick]

Hey, look! Trapperrick is certifiable!

[trax]

Trapper Rick you gonna show that certificate to the bears so they'll know it's ok if you shoot them?

[Rick]

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.
