Bears this weekend (pics)
Saw this pair of bears this weekend while driving around Mt. Rainier. Anyone know how big they might go? I know the bigger one is over 200 but I'm not a great judge of black bear size.

I think this is the big one. S/He got really close to me near the road, I think I cut them off from crossing the road. I was probably within 50 yards of this one and they diverted further away through the green-rocky area you see the one running in later.

This is the smaller of the two crossing the road. It doesn't look that big here but the road was probably 30 feet between the lines so the perspective is off a little I think. Still, you could tell it was a smaller bear (I'd guess 100-150 pounds maybe?).
