Title: Monster Black Bear
Post by: Decker on March 29, 2011, 08:09:08 PM
In the spirit of the upcoming spring bear season, I thought I'd share a photo my brother took last year. I am looking for weight guesses - what do you all think he'd tip the scales at?

That bear makes me feel good about myself  :chuckle: Looks like it has been injecting itself with crisco. 500 pounds maybe??? Not sure its really not long, and fat is lighter than muscle  :chuckle:

HOLY MOLY! Is that a Washington bear? I think he would be over 500#, I shot one in 2002 that weighed 350# and it would look dwarfed next to that fatty. 
Title: Re: Monster Black Bear
Post by: bucklucky on March 29, 2011, 08:30:33 PM
600, looks just like some Tame blackbears they had at the puyallup sportsmans show 3 or 4 years ago, they were around 600.

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on March 29, 2011, 10:14:31 PM
Just out of curiosity, if I saw that bear, I would say it was a sow.
My understanding is that a boar would have more of a flat, less rounded rear and back.
Not quite so "pear shaped"
Also I have heard that a boar would have a longer nose (?)
Not that it makes any difference (unless she had cubs) to me, just wondering what you more experienced bear experts would say..  :dunno:

Holy Cow!  I'd say 460.

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on March 30, 2011, 12:48:06 AM
Decker, when you or your brother take that critter, please weigh him/her whole so we know.  That's a big'n for sure.

 STIKNSTRINGBOW -  I've seen boars and sows fat like that. Shape of a rump or length of the snout is not always a tell.

If there was a box of donuts I bet he would make it up the tree just fine  :chuckle:
Title: Re: Monster Black Bear
Post by: lokidog on March 30, 2011, 11:17:34 AM
He doesn't need to climb the tree to get the donuts, just run into it and push it over....

He puts new meaning to the word square as in what does that hide square, since he is as wide as long, or square!

Post by: KillBilly on March 30, 2011, 11:45:14 AM
Myself, BTKR and some family took pictures of 2 bears in the Olympic National park that are that big last year. My guess would be pushing 500 lbs.

Post by: boneaddict on March 30, 2011, 11:47:56 AM
Looks like one of them fat AK bears.  They just look different because they have so much more to eat.  Gorgeous critter.
Title: Re: Monster Black Bear
Post by: MtnMuley on March 30, 2011, 11:57:15 AM
Definately a tank.  I'm not ruling out that it's not a fat sow though.....
Title: Re: Monster Black Bear
Post by: BlackRidge on March 30, 2011, 12:23:56 PM
Geez thats a bign!  I'd say its pushing 550+  :drool:

I had to go back and look at that photo... (for the seventh time  :chuckle: )   Extremely good looking coat. That's adding a few pounds to the view.  Is that a Washington Bear, Decker? Garbage dump or orchards near?

Krispy Cream shop?

First bear I've ever seen with CANKLES.

No idea on the weight.

As much as I'd like to claim this as a Washington bear, it's a photograph from my brother's trip to Yellowstone last year.

Ah Hah!!! I knew that thing had to be tame or close to it. Its so fat and disgusting I'm not sure I'd want to eat that thing. It'd sure make for a nice rug though.  :chuckle:

Definitely over 500#... now...you say Yellowstone, but me thinks its one of the tame bears in one of a couple "drive through" bear tour deals we have over here. I saw a bear just like that in one up by Glacier several years ago... "the Great Bear Adventure" or something like that....  So, tame or wild???

I picked this off of another site. As I remember a youth shot this in Oregon somewhere. I absolutely love this picture. LOL

Now this is my 2010 bear. It was a solid 5 footer so it wasn't exactly tiny but look at the difference.  :chuckle:

I know but it's a good pic nonetheless. I posted a trhread about it a few months back with a link to the story. It's titled "his bear my bear" or something like that if you want to check it out.

I'm not claiming it is or isn't real. I dont care. I just like the pic.
