did you weigh the bear your self to know that it was 300 lbs alot of guys just guess and are usually high
I should add this to my goal list, I have a hard time judging bears. Getting better though. One of the hardest animals to field judge IMO.

305, great bear Mwhitetails.
Kyle,
A bigger bear won't have as much light under his tummy as a smaller bear. Smaller bear look like they have long legs. Look at the ears, are they pointed straight up or are they pointed out the side? If they point straight up its a smaller bear, if they are way on the side, you got a dandy bear. Just a few things to help you out. PM me if you want some more pointers on judging these bear, they are tough to judge!
