Over 20" = Giant
Over 21" = Freakin' Giant Monster

I think he's larger than you believe. He's got a super wide head so that's gonna get it up there in score. Let us know when you get it measured as I see a 21" bear, or at least close to that.
It will go over 20.

I'm thinking just about right at it or just shy.  Be pleasantly surprised if it's much more.

Compare to green score 20 1/4"  http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,124373.0.html

Nice pumpkin head there.  I would bet right around 20", the noggin on a 21" bear is unreal.  You are cutting yourself short on the hide and guts though.  Unless he was very short and squatty you will get more than 50# of hide and head, and way more than 20# of guts.  I'd bet he was closer to 300# than you think.  Great bear though and what a beautiful hide!  Congrats!   :tup: :tup: :tup:

Few battle scars and nice teeth.  I'd guess he is still a youngster of the giant stud variety.

I'm not sure who' more excited for the score, you guys or me.  I'm pretty damn excited to find out though.  I have to wait a little while to get it to my favorite taxi though.  Hopefully sooner than later.  I would be stoked if it is between 20 and 21.

Rad, That bear I got last year on Aug 4 in the Capitol Forest didn't look that big to me but it came in at 21 5/16" and registered in the NW Big Game books. Both those bears look fairly close in size although the trophy pics they took are much better. Any way you look at it those 2 are monsters and hard to come by east or west!

21 5/16" that's giant Alien Bigfoot's 2nd cousin big!  I don't remember seeing your bear pics.  I'll try to do a search.  Definitely :tup: east or west fantastic bear.  And  at least three of them so far on here.  I leave Sunday or Monday for Aladdin.  These guys have set the bar too dang high.  Not sure I can begin to compete.
