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.

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.
