Hello,
From these pics can anyone with more experience estimate the size of this bear?
I am pretty sure he is a "shooter", either way I am going to try to shoot him!
-thanks

On the note of Sow Vs Boar....
We have massive bear activity here over the last week, and there is another set that comes, a smaller bear that looks more like a dog, and this bear has a cub, these two are never around when this one is there, thats why i think this is a Boar.
We have about 8 of these cams, on trails and all over our area, all all the time stamps match up, these bears just dont hang out together.

that bear is young...has a narrow head, tall ears, long pointy nose. I might be wrong, I'm no pro, but he looks small and young to me.

Not much over 200lbs if he goes that much. Still a shooter.

The snout is to long and slender to be a "large" bear. I would say an adult shooter for sure though.
