My son shot a bear last year in Winthrop that hanging at the meat locker weighed 226 pounds. Which I have been told would put the bear at 425-450lbs the skull is 20 1/8. I had never seen a bear that big before and don't think we will top it.

I saw three nice bears this fall that topped 600 lbs actually.  I mean, the three combined.  :chuckle:
 
I don't think that bear weighs 600 lbs man.    :sry:

I haven't been around a lot of dead bears but it takes a huge frame and tons of food for a bear to make 350, not sure where 250 more would go on a Washington bear.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

  I've been huntin bear for close to fifty years.  Many of those years with hounds and over bait, until illegal.  My dad and uncle guided bear hunters for 25 years and I've seen one bear in all those years weigh 600 lbs.  He was killed over a bait with his belly full which was probably close to 75 lbs in food or more.  The average bear in Washington and Oregon weighs around 133 lbs  from what I remember.  I've seen a couple over 500, a few over 400 and many over 300, but 5 and 600 lb. bear are few and far between.  This was and is in Ok. & Chelan Co.

Can't see the pic, but I've only seen one Washington bear that weighted in at 500 lbs, and it was a huge pig of a bear. Shot by a Steve A. years ago.

Those that know Steve, and have seen the bear, know what I'm talking about....sure wish I could see another...or two!   :tup:

Killed one in the CF that was 385 gutted. Over 400 live and it was enough to let me know that I don't want to mess with one over 500.

I'm just tagging along.... Never known anyone that has seen several bears over 500# in washington, let alone kill them.  This should be good.

My biggest bear was probably around the 350-375# mark when alive.... That is a pig of a WA bear.... Most people really over judge size of bears.... For instance... My friend dropped one last year.... I asked him how big.... He said at least 300 pounds.... I said *censored*.... Got there to see and feel that there's no way it was more then 180-200 live weight...... Nice bear but not near 300#.... He said he couldn't believe how much bigger he thought it was....

Mountainman.... It's a great bear.... I highly doubt it's much over 400# alive.... Which is a huge mountain bear for here... Congrats... But nowhere near 600#... These bear aren't all salmon fed 9 months of the year.....

Great bear but not 600#.
Give 75-85 for head and hide + 40 (50 tops) for guts and for giggles lets give it 50 for fat ...
and your barely over 500.

Like I said great bear, but the math don't work.

375 gut feathers and all. Pulled it out with rope and broke the rope 3 times   Weighed it whole so could honestly say what he weighed
