That's what happens when a bear's body is deeper than its head, unlike most of the 400 pounders we hear about. :chuckle:

:yeah:

Since you have the license plate as a reference point and it is only the right front leg past half way, the bear appears to only fill less than half of the truck bed.

It looks like the aspect of the camera gives it the appearance of being huge.

Probably right around the 400# range... Think it was 7' nose to tail.... And also informed it came out of Seabeck... But I could've understood that wrong that he lives in Seabeck and got it in Shelton??? :dunno: Either way hell of a bear...

I shot a bear rug was 7'2" nose to tail (spring in Ontario), pig girth estimate made it 450#, it took five of us all we could do to drag it to the truck on a tarp.
