Title: Bear Comparison Pics
Post by: Jonathan_S on May 03, 2013, 04:32:55 PM: Is this a mature boar?

I'm not great at judging pictures and I know he's hardly in the frame. I was looking at the forearms, ears etc. trying to judge.

There are three bears coming into this camera regularly. He seems to be the only decent one.

In your opinion, is this a mature boar? Unit 101, elevation 3,400

I thought the second one was around 100 lbs.

Thanks for the :twocents: :tup:

Post by: billythekidrock on May 03, 2013, 08:18:53 PM: 1st one is plenty big. Could be about 280# give or take 20#.
Second one is probably 40# max.

:yeah:
If I had to say I would say big sow. Still a good bear and maybe to old to produce

If that little one is really only 40# then I think I'd have to pass :chuckle:

To this point though, all bears have been shooters but I've never seen a tiny one in person.
