Title: Is this west side bear big?
Post by: chad24n on June 01, 2019, 07:20:19 AM: Showing up on my cam every 3 weeks or so, can't wait for August! Any guesses on how much he weighs (live weight).

Nice animal.

I bet you aren't too far off, he's probably less than that now, but they pile on the weight in the fall.

Post by: chad24n on June 01, 2019, 01:18:49 PM: A couple more pics. All facing away. I believe the 05/02 shot is the same bear? Moved camera 75 yards from that 05/02 shot into a deer bedding area.

Anyone's opinion on size changed?

Post by: chad24n on June 01, 2019, 01:21:52 PM: Hmmm... not so sure now that they are the same.. 05/02 bear looks bigger, shinier and bigger hump, no??? It is mating season right? Don't know a lot about bear on Olympic Peninsula.
