Yea, I had to shake him off my boot when he attacked me.  
Actualy it's just a internet pic.

Now what would be fun if someone actually had some pics of some bears that were actually weighed afterwards and let the forum members guess the weights. I have a couple, here's one that was weighed before field dressing on a scale that is used to weigh beef carcasses. Just for grins let's see what you guys come up with.

Nice bear, at that angle it's a little hard to tell with his hind legs bunched up like that, can't see his belly at all.  My guess 298 pounds.

Maybe this will help, The guy in the pic is 6"2 and weighed 247 lbs at the time. His hand is just shy of 6 inches across counting the thumb when his fingers are together. Don't ask me how I know. 
My hand is only 5.5 inches.

Hard to tell from the angle of the pic.  Looks like he could be a solid 300 lber, so I'll guess 310.  He will probably end up going over 400 now that I throw in my two cents!

340lbs Mark

[Huntbear]

not an ounce less than 20 lbs.   

Seriously, I would say that bear is a solid 275.

260-270#
