Title: What do you think he weighs! (Updated!) Bear Down W/Pics!
Post by: Elkslayer on August 24, 2010, 08:11:51 PM: Buddy caught him coming in the other day. Double lunged him at 13yards! He did not get a weight prior to skinning and gutting. But he did take the meat and bones into the butcher and hanging weight without hide, head and guts was 230lbs! For picture referance my buddy is 6'04" 250lbs.

Post by: NWBREW on August 25, 2010, 09:37:40 AM: Yeah..I'd say between 215 and 230. The only way to know for sure is to take him to you favorite butcher,

Well if the scale was right then add about another 30 pounds for guts. And another 65-75 for cape and head. I wont even guess. Just got to say I love the white V. Congrats to your buddy.

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on September 07, 2010, 11:55:24 AM: I've been deceived! That just goes to show you how the camera may not tell the whole story. Looking at that fruit tree where he is standing, I did not judge this Bear to be that big at all. Proves that pointy ears don't always give away the size of a Bear either.

I also like that white V. Nice Bear with a Bow. Nice Bear most anywhere.

Post by: Bigtime on February 05, 2011, 07:08:35 PM: I think the bear is over 500 lbs. Look at the head!!!. The distance between the ears is huge. Also if the person is 6'2" the bear is every inch that long. I think everyone is underestimating it. :yike:
Title: Re: What do you think he weighs! (Updated!) Bear Down W/Pics!
Post by: 3dsheetmetal on February 05, 2011, 07:30:36 PM: I would say it probably goes about 350.Sure is a beautiful bear love the white patch.

Post by: HornHoarder on February 05, 2011, 07:57:04 PM: Bears are hard to judge, and easy to underestimate. If hanging weight was 230 lbs im sure live weight was 350+. Nice bear! What unit?
Title: Re: What do you think he weighs! (Updated!) Bear Down W/Pics!
Post by: Bigtime on February 06, 2011, 12:27:24 AM: When the bear stood up, he was over 6 feet tall.

Post by: billythekidrock on February 06, 2011, 05:25:34 AM: Nice bear. 230 + about 70 for hide/head + 30 or so for guts would be about 330#. It is a solid bear, but 300+ seems a bit high but photos are deceptive. I would have guessed 280#.
