Default how big is this bear?

I saw this bear a few days ago. He is the biggest bear I ever saw. I wonder what he would weigh. whats your guess?
He was so big he waddled when he walked.

Sorry about the pic quality. It was at first light and I didn't have time to adjust my shutter speed.

I'm no bear expert like some on here but he looks pretty good for this time of year! My uneducated guess would be 400lbs+.[8D] You got your bear application in???

He's in that 400lb range I would think, there's not much light under his tummy so that tells you something there. Being its in the spring its hard to say but by fall he's going to be much bigger. No dought he's a bruiser!!

I am not very experienced with judging bear, but I just shot my first one last year. He went 300lbs, and he was much smaller looking than te one in your pictures!!

My uneducated guess would be 400PLUS...

That's a nice freakin' bear. From what I can tell, he's got a big old round head and little nubs for ears. He's a good one.

Magic, he's a monster! I'll guess he's in the 500lb range, possibly more.
