I don't know Phil there is a number of times I see a tuft in front of the legs, one of them is at 5:46 on the vid. Is this a wolfs creek rule not to shoot sows? Any sows or just sows with cubs? If everyone had to positively identify the sex of a bear before they can shoot it, not very many bears would get shot. You were there so could make the best judgement but to me it looks to be 50/50 that it is a male or dry female.

I think its a sow for sure...but maybe a dry sow?
I think you did the right thing if they told you not
to shoot a sow..
I would have went back to camp and relaxed..had a cup of tea and had a cookie or two..
Next time buddy.....

He didn't tell me he was using cookies for bait! No wonder that bear stuck around for so long!
