Black bear or grizz?

[stuckintherut]

I got this guy on my trail cam this summer and never came to a good conclusion on whether it's a black bear or a grizz. Any opinions?

lol just one pic? has a shoulder hump so first reaction is griz but from what i can see of the face id say blacky

i'm going to say.....that shoulder hump looks more pronounced than it actually is because of the guard hairs in his now-shedding winter coat.

Verdict:  Black Bear

Look at the rounded ears.  That's a wee lil griz

ears look like grizz to me , in fact every thing about it looks like grizz.
