Title: bear pic 2009
Post by: bryg_12 on April 22, 2009, 01:12:34 AM: anyone have rough idea on how big this bear might be

Post by: Machias on April 22, 2009, 09:03:20 AM: That looks like a really nice WA State bear, I'd guess 185 to 205. He'd be heavier this fall. It's hard without something of known size to reference him or if we could see a front shot of his head. He's a real nice bear though.

P.S. That is a real cool trick too, taking his photo in the future like that, wish my cameras would take them 2 days before they show up, it would make setting up my treestand easier. :):)

Post by: Timberstalker on April 22, 2009, 09:46:56 AM: I cant put a weight to him but I can see that his ears are coming off the side of his head and I would guess he is fairly mature. I would almost bet he is not small :twocents:

Post by: Ray on April 22, 2009, 09:49:48 AM: I would shoot him. I agree that he does not appear to be juvenile based upon the ears.

Post by: GoldTip on April 22, 2009, 11:11:15 AM: yeah his ears are out to the side, and that last shot shows he's got a pretty good crease running down the center of his forehead, he's a mature bear.

Post by: Kain on April 22, 2009, 03:43:41 PM: He is gonna be a lot heavier looking in the fall. He looks pretty big already. Bear are one of those animals I am horrible at judging.
Title: Re: bear pic 2009
Post by: HuntingFanatic on April 22, 2009, 04:53:42 PM: I am going to say around 200

Title: Re: bear pic 2009
Post by: coasthuntersdad on April 24, 2009, 09:55:58 AM: I agree with timberstalker judging by how far apart the ears are that is a dandy bear. Go shoot that one and then post the size so we will know if we are judging correctly.
Title: Re: bear pic 2009
Post by: billythekidrock on April 24, 2009, 06:38:12 PM: Somewhere between 200 and 225. He is a solid bear and should gain a little over the summer. Shoot him first chance you get.

Post by: heavy hauler on April 25, 2009, 10:34:50 AM: first pic a thought 140 the third makes me think more like 160
Title: Re: bear pic 2009
Post by: JoeVon on April 25, 2009, 10:45:28 AM: I'd say he weighs somewhere between 220 to 240, definitley a mature bear, he'll be a real good bear this fall. I'd shoot him in a second.

Post by: coonhound on April 26, 2009, 09:38:35 PM: Hope you've got a bear can over that camera...you'd hate to find your SD card in a pile of bear crap.

Great pics...

Post by: Drop-tine on April 27, 2009, 09:09:53 PM: looks small right now but he would go 300 to 350 by summer i bet, judging by the ears layed out to the side hes probably a 4 year old bear
