If that's a fifty gallon drum I would put that bear at 400 plus pounds, pictures are hard to judge by but that is definitely bigger than 350 !! I hope you connect so we get the true weight !! Good luck man  :tup:

The Quinault, and surrounding area, sure produces some behemoths!  Good luck....hopefully that boy doesn't go nocturnal.  I bet he shows back up in the next day or two then you can report some real numbers.   :tup:

Holy moly.  I've yet to lay my eyes on a 400# spring bear.  That'd put him into the 500# range in the Fall. 

Regardless - Good Luck!

I stand by the 200# range.

There are some whopper bears along the coast, alot of those big ones are baited right along the reservation line.  I wish we could still bear bait it looks like a blast.

That’s a 5’10” 185# spring Bear.

I’ve butchered a 7’ spring Bear and it went 250#.

It takes a big dog to weigh a ton.

unless that's a 33 gallon drum that bear is very big,  can't wait to see him on the ground. 


I see in the first pic it's a blue 55 gallon drum, he's a toad gonna go 7 foot probably.   55 gallon drums are just shy of 3 feet tall and he towers over it.
