looks bigger than 150 lbs to me. I cannot guess weights well but the head and ears look like it is much bigger than a smaller sized 150 lb. bear. I am not sure it adds up to 450 lbs.

Most important - It looks like a bear that I would shoot at and be happy about harvesting.
Yes, back from Wyoming.

i started this thread as a point i see alot of people posting pics with no weight and i find them better and does not distract from the trophy remember that bow is like 32" and it looks very big compared to that bear in the picture and to say 450+ i have seen alot of bears and alot of bears that were said to be 400+ and only a very small % of the bears were close to that weight i am always happy to see a dead bear one less preditor for sure and i would of shot him but know way would i say 450+lbs on him
Post by: LongTatLaw on October 26, 2009, 03:36:28 PM

ghgetter that is a toad of a bear and looks long and big were was that?
About 7 miles from where he should have been...the back of my truck! Mile or so off the crest trail, 3000' higher than my truck. First load of meat out (actually weighed after I got home and trimmed some fat off) was 78 lbs...flashlighted out and got to my truck at 11. Second load out the next morning was a grinder. Biggest mountain bear I had ever seen. Coast bear ok, but up that high, he was a biggun.

I used to have a farm and raised pigs, so my :twocents: is that animal compares to a 350 lber.
If you are ever near a farmer, stop and look at a hog, it can suprise you on what looks big.

Not sure what I am going to do with him yet...I told the taxi to give me a week or so to make up my mind.

Nice bear! :drool: I was thinking 300 ish for the other bear. Your bear looks like it has an ear tag, did it?

That bear very well could be 400 lbs plus. Obviously without weighing it on a scale the weight will be debated and most are definately over estimated, but it is a big bear.
Compare it with this bear with a known weight of 380 gutted.

Awesome LTL, since I am over 300, that puts my bear at 325-375! You rock! :chuckle:

The first photo was taken from a standing postion looking down, that is the biggest mistake, makes the animal look half it's size. The hunter appears to be above the animal and the animals head is elevated more than the body, both factors make the bear look smaller.
The second photo was done much better and thus appears bigger.
Just my opinion.... :twocents:
