Title: How big?
Post by: klickriverchromer on August 18, 2009, 07:49:53 PM: How big do you think this guy is? Looks like a healthy bruin. I guess 275-300lbs.

Title: Re: How big?
Post by: actionshooter on August 18, 2009, 09:44:33 PM: OK, I would guess 250-275, he's a fatty but doesn't look like its got the length.

He sure likes that salt block

Post by: stringflinger4elk on August 18, 2009, 10:10:54 PM: don't stone me but I'd say 240
just try to imagine him soaking wet not all fluffy but without the weight of the water.

both of the bears I have taken were much less than I initially guessed.
I'd bet if you take this one home you'd be surprised too.

where's BearPaw when you need him to weigh in... he should know better than anyone

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on August 18, 2009, 10:41:40 PM: Got some big haunches there. And that neck is long so I don't think length is an issue. 275. Nice bear. Shoot him!

Post by: shanevg on August 19, 2009, 09:39:48 AM: I agree that he isn't pushing 300 yet, I'd say in that 250-275 range, but a nice bear for any hunter!
Title: Re: How big?
Post by: boneaddict on August 19, 2009, 09:44:47 AM: Under 250 but a dang nice one.

Post by: MtnMuley on August 21, 2009, 03:28:48 PM: Awesome red color phase! 245.
Title: Re: How big?
Post by: Bofire on August 21, 2009, 05:25:40 PM: :)I'd shoot him in a heart beat, but he aint over 250. I'd guess 3-4 years. He is not filled out in his front end yet, belly is tight not dragging, ears look big.
