Very nice bear.... photos can make critters look bigger or smaller, but in these photos he looks great, he looks as fat as a fall bear, I guess 350ish to 400ish and within a couple inches of 7 feet.

How wide is his front pad?  5 1/2" to 6"  :dunno:

If that barrel was filled with lard it would weigh just shy of 400#.  Dang fine bear.  I would guess 370-380# live weight.  Though he does seem to get bigger every time I go back and look. 

I'd definately pull the trigger on him without a second glance.  Besides his size the coat looks flawless.  Might not measure out too big on skull, but that wouldn't stop me from tagging that beaut.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

I wish you a pic of him sideways behind the barrel. Regardless, he is a toad!  X2

I looked again and I'm going to go out on a limb and say 400+. I know there are very few 400 pounder's out there and they get misjudged often, but he is just massive all over.
