And the winners are...the 9 of you who selected 140lbs! The bear looked fairly big and I was surprised to see that the meat/bones only weighed 100. The skin/head/paws weighed 40 lbs. When I skinned the bear, it had almost no fat on it. The butcher was really surprised about that too, he thought I removed the fat. The bear had a really thick coat too.
I was just curious about what you guys thought it weighed because I keep seeing posts about "I saw a 300+ bear today but didn't get a shot." When I got my bear, I thought he'd be over 200, even when he was field dressed.
