So what's the measurements? Sounds like a stud.

So he is 6'3" long so 75" and the rug is 45 " wide behind the shoulders . His skull scored 19 6/8 and he tooth aged at 19.5 years old . I killed him with a stick bow when I was 18 !

So by this scale it says live weight would be 300 lbs it's a little off just saying ... lol

It's also very likely your girth was bigger then 45". I'd guess the taxi probably trimmed some or cleaned it up? Be interesting to hear from a taxi here to hear what kind of girth loss (or gain?) might be expected during a rug.

Oh I know and I know for a fact at least 3 " a side

[Euro mount]

So by the scale he was close to 400 depending on what he trimed off at the taxi

[SilkOnTheDrySide]

So that's 50-51" which is 385-400.

Based on your hanging weight I'd say that's closer.

So would that 400# bear yield about 50# of meat?

Only pic I could find had to take a picture of it with my phone

I'd guess between 70-90 raw?

Depends on how long ago it was! Adam can't even remember exactly how much he got last year off his bear...😂 he thinks 35 ish

Did you kill that bear in 1980 Euromount?

[SilkOnTheDrySide]

I think it probably matters with season too, all that extra weight they put on in mostly fat.

I think the chart is probably the most accurate.
