is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.
There was a huge search for a missing child here in AL when someone found what they thought was a disembodied child’s hand. Turned out to be a bear paw a poacher didn’t bother to take after field dressing his kill.
a very scraggly late spring bear ran in front of my car once and my first thought was 'what is a guy in a bearsuit doing running around out here' so this checks out
Years ago I was an RCMP officer in Northern Saskatchewan. On more than one occasion someone found a piece of severed, skeletonized bear anatomy, and it's -close enough to human- that we would have to get it ID'd by a medical specialist to confirm it wasn't Human Remains.
I once spent a ghastly hot summer hour recovering badly degraded “sheep” remains from a swamp—I’ll spare you details, it’s one of the worst of my many grody tales—before realizing it was the remains of a hunted bear.

One of the Bigfoot shows I watched had an interview with an experienced hunter who had a sighting. He was 1000% certain it wasn't a bear, said he'd know a bear if it was one. He collected hair samples from the foliage the animal was rubbing on. The analysis comes back: bear.
