Got a pic of this big rig last week. Time to do some tree stand sitting.

while i'm no bear expert looking at the pic it has a big butt/hips with smaller front shoulders and a definite neck...i would think it would be a sow but with that cool coloration it would definitely be on my wall...good luck

My thought was also sow, and though guessing a bears weight is tough, I figured about 250.  Nice mature trophy though and that color is outstanding.

You should pass on it. I'm going to need coordinates for this camera. :-)   :chuckle: :P ;) :)

Guess I need to get my eyeballs recalibrated.  :chuckle:

Yeah!  That is a tough one to guess.  I too think it is a sow, but it is close enough I'm not sure I could tell a client either way based on these pictures.  My guess on weight would be 225 - 250#.  Great bear!
