Title: Is this a big bear
Post by: ridgefire on June 04, 2020, 09:12:51 PM: Im going through some of my trail camera pictures and this one was on it. I have shot a couple in the area but this is bigger than the ones I have killed. There is really nothing to size it up to but any guesses on weight?

Post by: ridgefire on June 04, 2020, 09:59:56 PM: This is about the average size bears I have got on camera in the area.

Post by: HikerHunter on June 05, 2020, 09:51:26 AM: That's a big one! I'd agree 300 lbs, maybe more

Post by: h20hunter on June 05, 2020, 09:53:20 AM: The last one posted....young, maybe 125 to 150 I'd guess. Likeky closecto the avg shot. I'd tag that one.

Post by: Machias on June 05, 2020, 09:56:30 AM: I'm going to guess 180-190 on the first bear, second bear 80 pounds, maybe.

Post by: dilleytech on June 06, 2020, 07:32:07 AM: First one 300ish, second bear 80-100 1.5yr old.

Post by: bearpaw on June 06, 2020, 08:11:00 AM: That first bear is a nice bear period, photos can be very deceiving, and a photo from the back end always make them look bigger, but I'd guess that bear could be in the 275-350# range. The second bear photo looks to be about the 100-140# range.
Title: Re: Is this a big bear
Post by: jackelope on June 06, 2020, 09:51:41 AM: I was going to say 225-250 on the first bear because normally I take 50-75 pounds off of what everyone else is saying, but if Dale says it’s that big, then I’m going to reconsider my guesstimate.

Think your pretty spot on. Definetly a shooter. Gunna big some monsters hitting the ground this fall. Especially I. Areas of the fire a few years back. Chokes and eldernerries coming on strong👍
Not to derail, but few days ago in Okanogan county, somewhere...

Post by: Bango skank on June 06, 2020, 03:56:17 PM: Its a good bear, but i dont think quite as big as some are saying. But i have to add the disclaimer that im not the best judge. Im more of a shoot it, then see how big it is kind of guy :chuckle: if you walk up on it and determine its not so big, oh well, you can buy another tag and try again.
