Post by: brew on September 26, 2014, 05:04:02 PM: while i'm no bear expert looking at the pic it has a big butt/hips with smaller front shoulders and a definite neck...i would think it would be a sow but with that cool coloration it would definitely be on my wall...good luck

Post by: boneaddict on September 26, 2014, 05:21:02 PM: My thought was also sow, and though guessing a bears weight is tough, I figured about 250. Nice mature trophy though and that color is outstanding.

Post by: boneaddict on October 13, 2014, 11:25:31 AM: hmmmmmmm, not so sure its a sow now after looking at that head. Sure is a pretty one. I hope you get it.

Post by: RadSav on October 13, 2014, 12:03:13 PM: Yeah! That is a tough one to guess. I too think it is a sow, but it is close enough I'm not sure I could tell a client either way based on these pictures. My guess on weight would be 225 - 250#. Great bear!
