Judging bears #2

[Moosie]

Anyone guess the size/weight of this guy ?

 

[mtnboy]

NICE coat!! Shoulders and rump look pretty solid from that angle......READY, AIM ..........but those ears look like that could get over 100 tv channels

Since I don't mind the taste of a Nike.....

I'd say that unless you have some weird Dumbo genetics there, it's about a 5 footer - 175 lbs - possibly a sow.

Need to see it's ground clearance, to be sure, though... Did I mention the sweet coat???

Size..Large Maybe 36 inches at the shoulder..

Weight..Heavy.. maybe 225 to 240

Looks like a big bear from here..

If my memory's intack (doin' a bit o' drinking tonight) that is the bear you shot last year, thus I'd say it weighs 149.65963 pounds.

WHere'd ya get the pic? Its tough to tell/guess with that pic, but I'd put him at 225ish. A shooter for Idaho for sure.

I'm not sure of the Bears Weight. I didn't have the Guestimating Chart I have Now. In the Next week or so When I shoot me another one, I'll play the Game again

I can Say that I picked the Sucker Up,and Hauled it out gut's and All. It was Downhill but it Still couldn't have been 125 ? I think the Picture is Illusive and So is the Video Above. Watch it and Tell me what you thought. I was Sure it was a 200-225# for Sure. The problem was it was Aproaching from the Uphill side down to me. That, And I had a BEar Woody so It clouded my judgement.

Bear Judgeing is Hard, Even with 5 under my belt I second guess myself all the time.
