A large black bear, not a Grisly.
Photo at right is with a dollar bill for a clue on size. As in not small. Theory is that it stepped on the rock and slid. Hence the finger looking streaks that are the skid marks as the toes slipped.
I had read a bunch of stuff on line in the last 24 hours and was reading the stuff wrong (wishful thinking) and really had myself talked into the idea that it was a Grisly.
Nope!
Dennis Ryan, local bear and wolf dude, is a really nice guy, has two cool dogs (who had to stay in his 4Runner while we looked at the prints) and wants me to house sit for his two dogs and two horses next June for a week while he and his wife attend their daughters wedding!!! We let the dogs out after the track examination. One lab and one basic old yellow dog. Fun. They ran around like CRAZY. The Old Yellow dog is funny. If ask what a cat says it does a sort of a meow and if ask what a coyote says he does a really decent imitation!!! Hysterical.
The Lab made a b-line for the creek, what a shock.
A good time was had by all even if it isn't a Grisly.
