Thanks for the pics

I've heard it said that Christianity is a crutch.  To me, it's a walking stick to use on the path of life.

I think 200 to 250.  Boutht the only thing to go on is ears relative to head.  In two pics the ears look really small and make him look big but in the other one his ear size shows up.  Really hard to tell IMO.  Bears seem to shrink more on the ground than other big game!  ;)

Big enough to eat 1 bite at a time! lol

Graps I think has it nailed.

Wrists and forearms are big, but they aren't huge. The long face and ear size makes me think its around 250#. Depending on location it might be a shooter.

Cool picture of it against the tree.

Lots of guesses here that seem WAY too heavy to me....I dont think this bear is that big.  I say GRAPS guess is on the mark with 200-ish.  The black and white night time photo is also making the bear look bigger than it actually is.

would someone shoot that dang thing so we all know. . . !

Big butt+ small ears= big enough for me. But I have never really hunted bears.

Yea those corn stalks are mature. Pic's were taken in October.

I'm thinkin that is short "feed plot" corn.  Not seeing a really huge bear there either.

I think the best way to tell would be to see if you can get in the picture with him. Maybe put your arm around him so that we can have a good frame of reference.

Earl, The second Pictures must be from a Teddy Bear.  He sure looks cuddly.

Now bring him home in the back of your truck.  :archer2:
Relax,
