i would bet he is 150 but he will weigh 225 to 250 by huntn season, if he has good food around, there is gettn to be alot of bear around so they have to compete alot more for food
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

I was always told you judged a bear by the head...and the ears.
If they look a little bit like Dumbo ears and seem big for the head, small bear. If they look like an after thought and just appear to be little pinned on looking things, big bear.

 Right now I'd say less than 100. By fall maybe 140-160. Young bear. (male)  :twocents:

That bear is 109 pounds, he'll be 137 this fall.  You would be shocked at how much ground shrinkage that bear would have if you shot him.
