120-135 dressed is my guess but it is a bear so that makes it a shooter  ;)

These are 300 lb bears.  + a 360 lb'er..
~  ~One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like "hey, there's an *censored*."”

Be come one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.

One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.

The pic of the scale shows 360 for the bear shown below the pic.

I will first qualify my response in that I have yet to shoot a bear. It's on my bucket list.
What I will say is that from what I've heard and read, a bear's relative size can be determined, at least, in one way by the size of it's ears in relation to it's head/body. The first picture looks to me like he has pretty good sized ears, which should dictate a smaller or younger bear. Like I said, this is from "book knowledge", and not practical experience. That being said, my novice guestimation would be.............

187 lbs. 9 ounces.                                   ;)
If man was not supposed to eat animals, God wouldn't have made them out of meat.

150-175.  It cracks me up how many 250-300 pounders are out there in the woods.  In Wa state 250 is a good bear.  I'm no expert at judging size on bears, but it seems every bear I hear getting taken is 250-300 pounds.  Then when you actually see the 250 pounder it ends up being a 150 pound 3 year old.
