It is hard to say from these pics.  The way he stands in the first pic is a little weird.  He is not a small bear  and I like the scar above his left eye.   By all means he is a trophy for sure and also a scrapper .  Nice find. :)

I think your right ....it is a black bear.  :chuckle:  It looks to be a decent one but I don't know about huge.  :dunno: but ya know I would still shoot it.

I agree.
It is a good bear, but I don't think it is huge. There is not much room between the ears and the snout still looks a bit pointy.

But I would still put that sucker in the freezer if I had a chance.

Nice average bruin.  NOT huge by anymeans, but good pics.

Nice blackie, Head size and ears say it's still got some growing to do.

Thanks for the input everybody.  yeah that scar is pretty cool!  I had a pic on another trailcam of a sow and this bear looked 3 times the size of her so I think my imagination ran a little wild with thoughts of 350 lbs! :chuckle:  Now trying to figure out the best game plan for August 1st.  Only got those few pics of him on an 8 day soak.
