Right around 200 based on overall size, but a good coat always adds bulk making them look bigger.

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

Its tough to tell by the pictures, he might go 200# but I really think thats on the big side. In about a month put him on the ground and prove me wrong   ;)

my guess was 250-280. The camera is 6ft up in an old snag and he is about 20 feet away when pic was taken.  i also watched the bear feed from about 200 yards away through binos. he does have a great hide, and a big track. i know i have at least 5 different bears coming in. I won't be able to shoot him to give accurate weight. i have hunted in that area for deer for over 10 years and have never seen a bear. there is too much brush and jack firs to really make it a good bear hunting spot. also i don't want to come under fire for baiting bears, since i put apples out. i would rather go to my usual bear spots and spot and stalk.
