This bear which is captioned:

Quote
"Bear  unofficically was 6'4" from skull to
tail and weighed over 450 pounds. He Shot it at 30 yds."

 looks bigger than 150 lbs to me. I cannot guess weights well but the head and ears look like it is much bigger than a smaller sized 150 lb. bear. I am not sure it adds up to 450 lbs.

Oh ok. I must suffer from reading comprehension problems. Well I don't know. The best way to look at bears is the skull measurement. It does not always mean a bigger bear I know that but it is much more conclusive than trying to guess live weight from some field photos. Some field photos are easier to get a guess from than others.

Most important - It looks like a bear that I would shoot at and be happy about harvesting.

Yes, back from Wyoming.

This is my bear from this year. He "unofficially" squared at 6'4" and wasnt 450. Heavy but not 450...not calling anyone out or anything.

By the way - I should clarify that I would be happy tagging a 150 lb bear too. Haha.

The bear is definately bigger than LongTat but I'm not sure which one I'd rather fight with.... probably take my chance with the Bear.  :chuckle:

ghgetter that is a toad of a bear and looks long and big were was that?
i started this thread as a point i see alot of people posting pics with no weight and i find them better and does not distract from the trophy remember that bow is like 32" and it looks very big compared to that bear in the picture and to say 450+ i have seen  alot of bears and alot of bears that were said to be 400+ and only a very small % of the bears were close to that weight i am always happy to see a dead bear one less preditor for sure and i would of shot him but know way would i say 450+lbs on him
