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.
