How big do you think this bear is? .300 Win Mag bullet for comparison.

Big enough...probably around 300lbs or so

Absolutely no way to tell the weight by track size.

:yeah: I have seen some pretty gangly bears with big feet.

The hind foot is also a poor indicator of size. If you want a decent "guess" you measure the width of the front pad. Normally a 4 inch across pad is a 5 foot bear, 5 inch across pad is a 6 foot bear. It at least gives you a rough idea.
