Bear Print opinions

Went out scouting for deer today and came across this track... What do you guys think? Bear size? I put some trailcams up around the area where I found the print, so we'll see what comes up.
Thanks all!

Yeah the sand makes it give a little bit more, but looks to be a good sized bear. The front track is the best to use to tell size of a bear.

Yeah baby. thanks for the hat for scale included in the photo. your tracks bigger than the one I hunted last week. I will post a thread on that hunt. You got yourself a shooter there. Location? western WA or eastern WA? if there are claws identifiable you might be looking at a grizzley track. my photo has no scale but the track was from my finger tips to wrist bone.

Not likely a grizz but it is nice bear. eastside has higher percent of color phase bears also. two years ago i got a chocolate boar but i would guess that bear is bigger than the one I shot which was just over 6 foot.
