Bear Weight--Need Your Help

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

Great thread. I've shot bear and always cut up to getem out. I've got a scale and hoist which I hope to have onsite of the next kill. It's just hard to have in the back country.  But really the only truthful  way to get a proper weight.

This thread came to light in lieu of various weight discussions after having a knife in less bears than some but more than many, across a wide range of sizes. All having come out in pieces. I'd just like to see everyone come together and grow our collective knowledge.

"Hey, how big was your bear/deer/fish/turkey/sage rat?"

"Big enough."

Based on an educated guess relying on distress data sent from my shoulders and lower back, the Bear I packed out came in somewhere between 600 and 700 lbs, respectively.

I dont have to worry about the weight of bear, being as I have never killed one.

It's funny when guys that can clean 300# grab a sack of jello bear and suddenly need two buddies to help move it.

My last bear measured 72" long with 47" girth. The taxidermist said it probably weighed about 300-325 live weight. I had 110 pounds of cut and wrapped meat.

Your chart would be close but multiplying the bone in quarters by 3.25 looks like a bunch of crap.

Got a picture?

Also was that 110 pounds brought in or after mixing with pork?

Here's a picture of the mount that I took this morning. It's also the bear in my profile picture.

The 110 pounds was cut and ground without any additives just bear meat by me not a butcher. Also was a bear killed in September, guys who are weighing spring bears would obviously see less meat and more bone.

How many of these bears were grizzly bears?

These were.

And so was this....this thing dug that far in a couple of minutes tops.

I've been doing math all morning with this formula.  My 2014 bear, pictured here comes out at 402#.

I'm not sure you know the difference between a black bear and a grizzly bear, Timberstalker.

Clearly High Country can. Thank God someone can.
