Black bear or Grizzly?  Idaho Fish and Game offers
online bear identification course
March 3, 2015
Q: I am going bear hunting for the first time this spring, and want to make sure I don’t accidentally shoot a grizzly bear instead of a black bear. What is the best way to know for sure?

A: Black bears and grizzly bears have some distinct differences, but sometimes they are not crystal clear. That is why Fish and Game offers an online instructional course. Learn how to identify grizzlies and black bears, and take a test to see how well you know the difference at: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/education/bearIdentification/
