Because I have the fever right now......that pic excites me!   :o  Looks to be a dandy.  Why have you not killed him yet?

Im waiting for my buddy's 9 year old brother to get home to whack him. :IBCOOL: It shouldn't be long, the bear walks this trail at least three days a week.

325-350 Ive never killed a bear and I'm trying to learn to judge them. He sure looks like a shooter to me. Cant wait to see him on the ground. a lot of space between the ears and the ears look small compared to his head. if I'm right hes an older bear. right?

Hard to tell without some reference, but I think you are right on track.  Wide nose, small looking well spaced ears, heavy short looking neck, looks to have a belly that makes the legs look short and a good shoulder hump.  You don't see bear like that very often.  Especially in early August!  I'd be shocked if he is not 350 already.  And if he is able to last till late September :yike:

Might ruin a nine year old for the rest of his bear hunting life tagging such a great  bear. :chuckle:  What will he have to look forward to then :dunno:  All joking aside; I look forward to those pictures.  I sincerely wish you guys the best of luck.

I'm guessing, not less than, 400.  He is a monster, and I agree with RadSav, he will ruin a littel nine year old beginning Bear Hunter.  On the other side, he will be, "in your face", after this one with you and his dad, until you do better.   
Good luck.
