Ran into a 1 1/2 year old 2 years ago same area that was white from the waist forward with black ring around eyes. Looked just like a Panda bear and was 2 days before season opened.

We shot at a blonde last year but the hunter missed and it was not nearly as light as these. I don't think I would really classify that white one as blonde. I think I would just call it white NRA Benefactor Member Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

We first saw the fur and thought it was an elk butt, only to realize it was a bear when it stopped to look back at us. It had two sets of crosshairs on it, and it made the right decision to vacate the area. Salmonhead
