Pictures can be decieving, but I think he's bigger than some, I'll give him 250-270 right now and I bet he'll puts on another 30 by late fall.

250 bear.. shoot him, make a rug and lots of pepperoni and sausage!   :tup:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

He has the head and the frame, just needs a few years to fill out to make it to the "Big Boy" category. I would guess low 200's. A respectable bear compared to the average bear for our state.
