275 easy, but would not even think about size, he is down hard.

don't stone me but I'd say 240
just try to imagine him soaking wet not all fluffy but without the weight of the water.

both of the bears I have taken were much less than I initially guessed.
I'd bet if you take this one home you'd be surprised too.

where's BearPaw when you need him to weigh in... he should know better than anyone

Got some big haunches there. And that neck is long so I don't think length is an issue. 275. Nice bear. Shoot him!

I agree that he isn't pushing 300 yet, I'd say in that 250-275 range, but a nice bear for any hunter!

Nice looking bear.  What elevation are the pics at.  The bears seem to be hanging higher up.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

 :)I'd shoot him in a heart beat, but he aint over 250. I'd guess 3-4 years. He is not filled out in his front end yet, belly is tight not dragging, ears look big.
