anyone have rough idea on how big this bear might be

Machias · « **Reply #1 on:** April 22, 2009, 09:03:20 AM »

That looks like a really nice WA State bear, I'd guess 185 to 205. He'd be heavier this fall. It's hard without something of known size to reference him or if we could see a front shot of his head. He's a real nice bear though.

P.S. That is a real cool trick too, taking his photo in the future like that, wish my cameras would take them 2 days before they show up, it would make setting up my treestand easier.

I guess maybe 180...but I am no expert for sure.

I cant put a weight to him but I can see that his ears are coming off the side of his head and I would guess he is fairly mature. I would almost bet he is not small

I would shoot him. I agree that he does not appear to be juvenile based upon the ears.

Yea he's got a nice wide head on him, he'd sure be a keeper this fall. Nice photos, thanks for sharing!

GoldTip · « **Reply #10 on:** April 22, 2009, 11:11:15 AM »

yeah his ears are out to the side, and that last shot shows he's got a pretty good crease running down the center of his forehead, he's a mature bear.

Houndhunter · « **Reply #13 on:** April 22, 2009, 02:28:11 PM »

i would guess 220, he looks pretty plump

bowhunterforever · « **Reply #14 on:** April 22, 2009, 02:35:19 PM »

Nice bear!

Kain · « **Reply #15 on:** April 22, 2009, 03:43:41 PM »

He is gonna be a lot heavier looking in the fall. He looks pretty big already. Bear are one of those animals I am horrible at judging.

HuntingFanatic · « **Reply #16 on:** April 22, 2009, 04:53:42 PM »

I am going to say around 200

ihunt · « **Reply #17 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:41:00 PM »

Big enough for me

jstamp · « **Reply #18 on:** April 22, 2009, 06:48:46 PM »

gotta love those spring bear hides

coasthuntersdad · « **Reply #19 on:** April 24, 2009, 09:55:58 AM »

I agree with timberstalker judging by how far apart the ears are that is a dandy bear. Go shoot that one and then post the size so we will know if we are judging correctly.

billythekidrock · « **Reply #20 on:** April 24, 2009, 06:38:12 PM »

Somewhere between 200 and 225. He is a solid bear and should gain a little over the summer. Shoot him first chance you get.

markts · « **Reply #21 on:** April 25, 2009, 09:10:30 AM »

Im with BTKR on the 225 plus side, very nice bear. Great pics. Markts

heavy hauler · « **Reply #22 on:** April 25, 2009, 10:34:50 AM »

first pic a thought 140 the third makes me think more like 160

JoeVon · « **Reply #23 on:** April 25, 2009, 10:45:28 AM »

I'd say he weighs somewhere between 220 to 240, definitley a mature bear, he'll be a real good bear this fall. I'd shoot him in a second.

hey nice pictures!! how do you like that Scout Guard??

coonhound · « **Reply #26 on:** April 26, 2009, 09:38:35 PM »

Hope you've got a bear can over that camera...you'd hate to find your SD card in a pile of bear crap.

Great pics...

Coon

Drop-tine · « **Reply #27 on:** April 27, 2009, 09:09:53 PM »

looks small right now but he would go 300 to 350 by summer i bet, judging by the ears layed out to the side hes probably a 4 year old bear
