Title: Shooter bear?
Post by: MuleySniper on October 04, 2010, 05:50:57 PM: Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it out with my dad this past weekend. He came across this guy then called me on my cell to tell me "You should have been here." :chuckle: I may have to go try to find this guy, just need an excuse to give the wife :chuckle: Any guesses on weight?

Title: Re: Shooter bear?
Post by: dirty24d on October 05, 2010, 10:35:08 AM: my first guess was 200 lb range but now after seeing the second picture i would put it closer to 225 lb range. nice bear!!

Post by: Machias on October 05, 2010, 10:40:27 AM: The average boar in WA is 170, the average sow in WA is 140. Most of the time if you look at a bear and think oh that dude is at least 200-250, it's more likely to be 140 to 160. Bears are almost always overestimated. WA state has some fatties, but the average size bear is not that big compared to other states. I say you should go shoot this bear and let us know what it really weighs. :)

Oh, were you wanting a guess on the bear's weight? :chuckle:........ The bear looks like a shooter bear to me......hard to guess the weight though by those pics.........

Post by: 7mm short mag on October 08, 2010, 09:22:24 PM: 120-135 dressed is my guess but it is a bear so that makes it a shooter ;)
Title: Re: Shooter bear?
Post by: Timberstalker on October 08, 2010, 09:54:08 PM: You are all way under........... That bear will go 275-300.
Title: Re: Shooter bear?
Post by: dirty24d on October 08, 2010, 10:34:32 PM: These are 300 lb bears. + a 360 lb'er..
Title: Re: Shooter bear?
Post by: dirty24d on October 08, 2010, 10:37:34 PM: The pic of the scale shows 360 for the bear shown below the pic.

Post by: rickomatic on October 10, 2010, 02:52:56 PM: I will first qualify my response in that I have yet to shoot a bear. It's on my bucket list.
What I will say is that from what I've heard and read, a bear's relative size can be determined, at least, in one way by the size of it's ears in relation to it's head/body. The first picture looks to me like he has pretty good sized ears, which should dictate a smaller or younger bear. Like I said, this is from "book knowledge", and not practical experience. That being said, my novice guestimation would be.............

187 lbs. 9 ounces. ;)

Post by: dirty24d on October 10, 2010, 03:48:17 PM: Hey rick your probably not too far off from that guess. Were all waiting for Muley to bag em and tag em let us know the weight!! :chuckle:
Title: Re: Shooter bear?
Post by: 300UltraMagShooter on October 10, 2010, 04:00:30 PM: 250 min

I'm probably under on this one... 250 to be safe...
Title: Re: Shooter bear?
Post by: Shootmoore on October 13, 2010, 05:44:07 AM: 150-175. It cracks me up how many 250-300 pounders are out there in the woods. In Wa state 250 is a good bear. I'm no expert at judging size on bears, but it seems every bear I hear getting taken is 250-300 pounds. Then when you actually see the 250 pounder it ends up being a 150 pound 3 year old.
