Not a hog but no dink either. I'd shoot him first chance I had.

150 or so. I'd say he's a shooter.

Don't know, I'm not a bear guru, but I see long legs, a non-saggy belly and big ears.

Looks like a good solid bear. I'd let the air out of it.

Well, it's in the 200 lb range I'd say around a 5.5-6ft boar. I think that's a great 1st bear let alone a second one! If it makes you happy, the trophy is in the eyes of the beholder. Hope it works out for you, all I know my knives would be gettin to work!!! :tup:

I'm seeing decent spread on his ears. Boars can look leggy, which isn't always a bad thing. His ears are big, which tells us he's no booner,  but the spread says he's no baby. I will guess 165# which is a decent bear. Given opportunity, and unless you are seeing some monsters in the area. ....I'd say shoot.
