i'll reserve my guesses for later, as I know where my cams are set and how far away this bear is when the pic was taken. also i have seen this bear live and in person. and i will tell you right now he is bigger than 180ish. but like i said, i'm just curious about the guesses. also if anyone wants to know where he is pm me and i'll tell you, as don't hunt bears anywhere near where my cameras are set up. after looking at the last 2 months of pics, maybe i should though

I'd give it 230-250 lb. He is very long legged. And since someone is baiting at your cam, You wouldn't want to hunt there anyway.

I'm baiting for good pictures, with apples. i have an endless supply of apples and i hoped to get some good pics of deer and elk, but the bears keep eating all my apples. i put deer chow in the bucket, but the bears ate the deer chow and the bucket. since the apples are free, they don't get any more deer chow.

I am 200 lbs and he looks a little bigger than me. I think he is 225-240. Once his belly grows into his legs he could put on another 50 by winter. Maybe more if he continues to eat all your apples.
