Default Help with a print

Could somebody more experienced please tell me if it's a black bear print, or is it too bad to determine?

Thanks, it's a grizzly territory, but I should expect bigger claw prints on a grizzly print, right?
It's not too far from Calgary and area has a lot of bear signs - just wonder if it worth a try for a spring bear there

Claws are very curved and close to the toes. Black, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. Grizzlies are more likely to be out now, but someone spotted the First Black of the year in Mountainview County.

Just heard, part of K country, south of Grizzly Creek is closed. Guess why ?
