Requesting assistance.
So, I was going through my photos, just for memories, and I think I discovered something about my 2020 black bear I took.
Heres the whole story of my 2020 black bear.
I went into the mountains to my bait barrel. I filled the barrel. About 10 minutes later, a black bear showed up at the barrel. I waited a few minutes for a clear shot. After I got an almost clear view, I fired, and missed. I tried again, and missed again. The bear ran off.
Then, a black bear ran towards me. I assumed it was charging at me, and I shot it and dropped it in one hit. I got my bear.
To this day, I thought the bear at the barrel and the bear I shot were the same bear. After reviewing the photos of the bear on the trail camera and the bear I shot, I am beginning to think they were actually two different bears.
I am attaching the pictures I am referring to.
Heres where I need help. Judging from the pictures and the story, are these two different bears?
If they are, it’s a lesson learned.
