It was going to be mounted, there were three taxidermist that was going to work on it. There was a measurment of the hide, seems like it was 8'5" squared. Wish I had that artical. Any way you look at it that was an Awesome Bear in life and now in death. Some place I read an artical about this Bear.

You can't mistake it, it's quite prominent. Also grizzly bears are at least a third taller and heavier than black bears. Claws on a black bear are about 2-3" but on a grizzly they are about 4-6" The bear was definitely killed near Licoln, Montana.

Seems everyone with a bear area sees the opportunity for some free advertising. When I heard it was in Montana I immediatly thought of the Flathead River which flows north near Glacier Park to the Crowsnest in B.C. In the mid 80s I was flying helicopter in the area on siesmic work and The University of Montana and University of B.C. were doing a bear study on the 20 mile portion of the Flathead in Canada. There were 125 grizzlies counted at that time in that area. The biggest collared was an 800 lb. male. One night the T.V. signal went all haywire in camp and when we went out to investigate a griz was scratching his ass on the dish.

That area on/near the Rocky Mountain front is known to be crawling with griz. I've seen them not far from there. As for all those who posted and don't know the identifying marks of a grizzly, consider the following (which are visible in this photo): front claws approximately 4-6 inches; concave face profile, rounded ears. All these are in contrast to black bears, whose front claws are approximately 1 inch long, whose facial profiles are straight, and whose ears tend to be a bit more pointed. Another identifying mark that is not visible in this photo is a grizzly trademark hump at the front shoulders. And since grizzlies are currently protected in Montana, this animal is not to be regarded as a trophy. The most reliable information seems to be the Montana story.

I heard it was in Wisconsin on 64 as well. If this bear is a grizzly, that can't be true, but I don't know the difference. I just heard the news today. I heard it was in Wisconsin on 64 as well.
