Oldtimr is right..those aren't really big bears, even the one you said is big. It is a mature bear and I wouldn't pass him up but it isn't all that big. Most people tend to overestimate a bear's weight. And I believe you did also. But it's not your fault. Bears are very hard to judge unless you've seen many in the woods and/or guided for them. I'd say he'd be hard pushed to go 300 lb. But like you said, he will be heavier come the fall.
