It is hard to say from these pics.  The way he stands in the first pic is a little weird.  He is not a small bear  and I like the scar above his left eye.   By all means he is a trophy for sure and also a scrapper .  Nice find. :)

I agree.
It is a good bear, but I don't think it is huge. There is not much room between the ears and the snout still looks a bit pointy.

But I would still put that sucker in the freezer if I had a chance.

Thanks for the input everybody.  yeah that scar is pretty cool!  I had a pic on another trailcam of a sow and this bear looked 3 times the size of her so I think my imagination ran a little wild with thoughts of 350 lbs! :chuckle:  Now trying to figure out the best game plan for August 1st.  Only got those few pics of him on an 8 day soak.
