this is next to a size 12 danner pronghorn. it was about 2 1/4" in diameter.

i found 3 piles like this within a few hundred yards of road. each pile looked to be a week or so apart in time they were left. i didnt see any other sign at all.

with the amount of berries in the crap it's hard to say, could be a decent size bear or just one with the runs  :tup:

The 1 st pile could be a nice bear 150 to 200 lbs and the second one maybe a younger bear or like they said above ...a bear with the runs  :chuckle: but what I do know is I would definately be finding where he is getting the berries and hunting that area ...were they blackberries...a bit early for blueberries  :twocents:

best way to tell is dig throgh and smell it.  if you find a zipper or pieces of hiking boots and it smells like pepper spray then it definetly is a big bear.

I always judge bear by their crap and that looks like a decent bear to me, just keep concentrating on the area where his crap is freshest and there's a good chance you will smack him, good luck.  :tup:

That bear is 139 pound male and walks with a limp on his left hind leg from where a Shuttle T grazed the inside of his lower leg.  Oh it was an Easton shaft, can't tell what model though.....at least that's what that pile tells me from all my years of sign reading......I could be off a couple of pounds though.   ;)
