@grizzlygirl87 Looks like a slightly underweight juvenile grizzly sow. The shoulder hump is evident and we can't see the ears well. The facial profile is fairly straight, making it a bit tricky. Could be a black bear... But going off the hump and rump – young grizzly bear sow – final answer!

Is there anything better than the sun glowing through the oil dripping off salmon as they dry in a smokehouse?

Please see the information provided above. It will help you make an informed, ethical decision about where to go hunting this season. Thank you very much for your interest and dedication to conserving wild sheep for the future! #huntforthefuture #conservation #wildsheep

ATT'N SHEEP HUNTERS: We want to remind hunters that there are concerns about Dall's sheep populations in some parts of the territory. Kluane is an area of known concern, and @KFNGovernment is asking all harvesters to restrict sheep harvest in parts of their Traditional Territory.

[YFWMB @YFWMB]

ATT'N SHEEP HUNTERS: The last few winters and springs have been tough on Dall's sheep. We're encouraging sheep hunters everywhere to try harvesting the oldest ram they can. Hunt for the future and help conserve our wild sheep populations. If you aren't sure –– don't shoot!

[YFWMB @YFWMB]

ATT'N SHEEP HUNTERS: Please read the update attached from the Kluane First Nation. It includes crucial information about sheep populations in KFN's Traditional Territory.
This information should be considered when planning your sheep hunt this year.
