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.

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

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.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

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!

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.

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

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  :)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
