Standing in about the same spot as the whitetail buck.  Looks to be just about as tall.

Better question is how big is that buck!?

With that angle I wouldn’t hazard a guess. Looks like a nice bear though

Ive posted a few pics of him.  Hunted him this year.  Had 4 encounters with him.  Had my bow drawn on him twice, once at 20 yards and once at 30, but never did release an arrow at him.  Both times i had to let down on my draw as i watched him walk away.  He looks about double big in person.  Maybe next year....  this is him.  Bunch more daylight pics of him, but not on my phone.

Bear looks average. 200.

Buck is a masher.

Nice deer but will better next year if he's not eaten by the wolves or cats.

Bear is very average. I’d be shocked if he was more then 200, probably in the 170 range.

That buck though...

Kind of surprised the consensus is average bear.  Guess i suck at judging bears.  Probably explains why i always shoot dinks  :chuckle:
