Small/Young Bears
• Appear to be “all legs”.
• Frequently look over shoulder or turn
around.
• More streamlined, pointed head.
• Ears look larger and closer together.
• Neck appears longer and thinner.
• Ears-to-nose lines form a skinny triangle
blue (Glacier) colour phases of the black bear.
5. Contact the nearest Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural
Resource Operations office immediately for important
information if you shoot an ear-tagged or radio collared
bear. See Ear Tags and Collars section, page 14.
All grizzly bear hunting is under Limited Entry
Hunting (LEH). See LEH synopsis for more
information and an article on how to identify black
bears and grizzly bears.
Cariboo
In order to ensure the sustainability of bear hunting, bear
hunters are requested to:
1. Be patient. Don’t shoot the moment you see a bear!
2. Observe carefully and select an adult, male bear, especially
a male grizzly bear. Bears can look deceptively large.
Adult males have larger home ranges and will tend to be
encountered less frequently than females and younger males.
3. Be aware that there is no open season on any bear (grizzly
bear or black bear) less than two years old or any bear in its
company (e.g., the sow). Take the time to ensure that cubs
are not nearby.
4. Be aware there is no open season on white (Kermode) or
REGION 5
NOTICE TO BEAR HUNTERS
Large/Adult Male Bears
• Stocky legs
• Massive body with belly that hangs closer to
the ground
• Slower, more deliberate movements
• Large, rounded head (like a basketball)
• Ears look smaller
• Thicker neck
• Ear-to-nose lines form an equilateral triangle
