The ears appear to be on the top of the head not the sides as shown in the 3rd picture.  That is generally an indication of a smaller bear.  I would guess that 150 would be the top end for that bear.  More likely smaller than that.  Just my opinion based on ones I've seen live.  I could be wrong.

 I've looked over litteraly hundreds of bears while hunting and one thing I've learned is that they are real hard to judge the size of. In a pic through brush? I'd give an educated guess of between 90-300lbs.  :chuckle:

these bears have been in this area for over a year now that i know of since i just started hunting here in WA.  How much do you think they will grow between now and season? Ive read every post on bear hunting but i am still having a really hard time telling how big a bear is and how much it might weigh. i thought that they were younger bears. I'm hopin that at least 1 of them is still there come season
