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"

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.

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.
