Title: Guess my bear's weight (field dressed) + Answer!*
Post by: Pilot_Hunter on September 19, 2013, 05:48:02 PM: I know the weight of my bear that I got. I'm just bored and wanted to make a little game out of this. What do you think my bear weighed after I field dressed it?

Hit me with any questions you have about the bear too.

Post by: RadSav on September 19, 2013, 06:11:32 PM: 162# field dressed would be my guess. Not sure if that means 170 or 140, but I submitted 170 to be an optimist ;)

Title: Re: Guess my bear's weight (field dressed)
Post by: steen on September 19, 2013, 06:22:38 PM: 180 was my guess before I saw your choices so I went with 170.

Here's a clue; I am 5'11". Here's a bigger clue, the bear is 5'9".

And you probably weigh 180 (before field dressing)?

Yes, the correct answer is one of the multiple choice answers (rounded).

How did you weight it?

The butcher weighed the meat still on bone and then I grabbed the hide/head/feet and stepped on a scale.

You've got to watch those butcher scales...you pay by the pound don't you? :chuckle:

Post by: pianoman9701 on September 20, 2013, 11:35:16 AM: Time for me to win the guessing game. Get on it, Pilot!
Title: Re: Guess my bear's weight (field dressed)
Post by: Pilot_Hunter on September 20, 2013, 11:58:22 AM: And the winners are...the 9 of you who selected 140lbs! The bear looked fairly big and I was surprised to see that the meat/bones only weighed 100. The skin/head/paws weighed 40 lbs. When I skinned the bear, it had almost no fat on it. The butcher was really surprised about that too, he thought I removed the fat. The bear had a really thick coat too.

I was just curious about what you guys thought it weighed because I keep seeing posts about "I saw a 300+ bear today but didn't get a shot." When I got my bear, I thought he'd be over 200, even when he was field dressed.

Post by: RadSav on September 20, 2013, 12:11:49 PM: So just to let you know internet posting weight is double actual weight. So what you have there is a 325# bear. Don't let anyone tell you different

hahaha! ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, ok I get it now!
Title: Re: Guess my bear's weight (field dressed) + Answer!*
Post by: sirmissalot on September 20, 2013, 01:51:19 PM: I guessed 170 but am not surprised it was 140. That is not a small bear by any means, nice work. I do believe most people (on the internet) would call that a 250 or even a 300lb bear... they can certainly be deceiving.
