Another pic, any guess on size? Like I said I am a newbie with the bears. Only seen one in the wild.

Just a very nice cinnamon bear. Size maybe 180 -200 pounds. It is a decent Washington bear, not a monster.

Here is the other bear we have coming in. Size? I know I have better pics, just can't find them.

Machias · « **Reply #7 on:** August 04, 2009, 02:06:11 PM »

Both bears are pretty small, look at the bellies and the ears, I'm thinking they may be around the 120 mark.

That cinny is a shooter any day. Nice lookin bear put a tag on it.

GoldTip · « **Reply #9 on:** August 04, 2009, 02:46:33 PM »

Both bears have good sized ears, and thats from a side view. I agree with Machias, neither is a terribly big bear. If I was gonna shoot one or the other however it would definitely be the Cinnamon bear.

lewy · « **Reply #10 on:** August 04, 2009, 03:12:03 PM »

Both small, if its a good area it will hold some bigger boars. I would hold off, but if you just want to fill your tag than hammer down!

Grizzly95 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 04, 2009, 03:17:47 PM »

Gonna be my first archery bear, I would like a mammoth but I think I will be a little too excited to pass on any one of them.

Machias · « **Reply #12 on:** August 04, 2009, 03:34:48 PM »

Honestly, I think you'll be surprised at how much ground shrinkage occurs with both of those bears.

SHANE(WA) · « **Reply #13 on:** August 04, 2009, 04:53:19 PM »

very small bears, it would be a stretch for 175 more like 125

Grizzly95 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2009, 05:00:55 PM »

What is the average size of a washington bear?

Slider · « **Reply #15 on:** August 04, 2009, 05:58:37 PM »

I agree, They are both small.

Machias · « **Reply #16 on:** August 04, 2009, 06:00:24 PM »

Believe it or not the average bear in WA is 145 for sows and 175 for boars.

rasbo · « **Reply #17 on:** August 04, 2009, 06:10:56 PM »

find your self a pic of a 400lb bear you will see the differance

M_ray · « **Reply #18 on:** August 04, 2009, 06:23:42 PM »

I would agree with most here they are both small but hey with a bow I might consider the cinnamon! Ahhh what the heck you get two tags anyway put an arrow in the cinnamon and go buy another tag! Good luck

Grizzly95 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 04, 2009, 06:26:04 PM »

What will really get me is if my daughter gets a shot at one with her bow; and whacks a bear before me.

Grizzly95 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 04, 2009, 06:36:36 PM »

If I do arrow a bear what does a rug cost or shoulder mount.

Machias · « **Reply #21 on:** August 04, 2009, 06:38:46 PM »

Used to be about $100 a foot, probably a little more now. Shoulder mount will probably run you around $400 plus. Nice thing is they take several months on most taxi will let you make some monthly payments.

Grizzly95 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 04, 2009, 06:42:24 PM »

No offense to the guys (and gals) across the mountains, but any recs for local taxis?

Machias · « **Reply #23 on:** August 04, 2009, 06:54:20 PM »

I highly recommend Darren Fuson up near Nine Mile Falls. Great guy. I can give you his phone number if you'd like to chat with him.

Grizzly95 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 04, 2009, 06:59:25 PM »

That would be great, hopefully either way I will be needing one this year. I am hoping my daughter arrows her first deer. She has claimed a dow with rifle, but I promised a mount if she sticks one with an arrow.

Machias · « **Reply #25 on:** August 04, 2009, 07:09:23 PM »

I'll PM you later on. Even if you get a small one, my opinion you should get the hide at least tanned. You can do so many different things with the hide. I arrowed a small bear one year and had the hide tanned. It turned out nice and didn't cost toooo much.

You have WCtaxidermy over there also about an hour north of you
