He,s big. If the ears look to small for his head it,s usually a nice size bear. :hunter:

It's a nice size bear.  Wish he was standing up so as to give a better idea on weight.  I would say around 175lbs - 200lbs.

I think it will still go between those weights.  The ears don't look all that small compared to the head.  I say the skull will go around 17" - 17 1/2".

You can see how thick the hair is on that Bears neck is.  In the first pic when the bears is looking at the camera I believe the hair on the neck is making the head look bigger than it actually is.

Big enough for me to. But you can see how thick the area is. I do not see it possible to hunt even if I could.

There might be some patch in there thats open for a shot...

or a stump you can hop up on...

then call for them, would be my suggestion. Maybe work the outskirts of the heavy brush...hard to say without being there.

Got a 12 ga.?  How about a .44 mag.?  either one at the ranges in that brush would be lethal.

Very nice bear, I would shoot him in an heart beat for my first bear.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Its alright, we'll save it in the recycle bin if any gamewardens need it in the future.  :chuckle:   I made the comment in another thread about someone being edgy, just didn't realize how edgy. LOL

wee bit paranoid eh, you think your trail cam pics are bad ive got post on here about starting revolutions. im currently typing from my crawl space. (basement didnt feel safe anymore)
No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.
