I say that is a young male, and about 200-250 lbs
very narrow a$$/hips on it
foot prints can be helpful
but after so many yrs here with bears
I have seen some very small bears with HUGE feet
I right now have what I think is a deformed male, been here since a cub off and on(was one of 4)
and it seems to have a bone growth issue, like a Giant would have
bones too big for its body
has a hunched up back and super long legs, it has HUGE feet too
very odd walk to it, walks like every leg is broken, yet is healthy (recently tagged Last fall by the state, but has since lost both ear tags too, one in May and other in July)
if anyone remembers " Andre the giant, the wrestler"
how he was sort of odd shaped
that's this bear
if he lives long enough to grow into that frame I think it will be HUGE
but that is why I say, foot prints only tell PART of a story some times
like all general rules, there are exceptions to them at times!
