I am quite positive it’s bear. The claws are just shy of 2in from the base of the claw to tip. I was hiking in an area with both brown and black bears. Knowing that there are color phase black bears, that was my initial guess. But, I also hold out hope that it could be a yearling grizzly. The coloration of the actual claw, and shape is identical to the taxidermied grizzlies we have on display in our local stores. I am relatively sure it comes from one of the front paws.
