How often does he come by your bait? If it is pretty regular and you have the time I would wait to see if anything else comes along. Thats a younger bear. I don't think he would go over 200 pounds. But like others have said, he has a really nice coat. I used to do forestry work in Manitoba. Awesome bears there. I have seen some real monsters and in the west of the province the majority I saw had chocolate coats. An outfitter friend of mine told me that one over 800 pounds was poached in Riding Mountain National Park.


If you are lucky a bigger more mature fella will come by and take over your bait. Even if you take that one though though you will still have a great trophy.
