One thing I have learned about bears is that when you look at them and they dont have a belly draging on the ground and a head so big the ears look like they arnt there you will give a few extra pounds.the second onelooks like a 90-110 pound bear by the size of the ears, head, broadness os shoulders(well lack there of) and distance between the belly and ground.

With a 100 pound minnium I would be a little lerry about shooting it.

Your bear is too skinny it doesn't load up ? He he he lol.

In all seriouness the bear in the original post is a young bear maybe 125 to 150 But if it doesn't weigh a 100 lbs , tehn open the belly and stick a 50 lbs cement block in it and saw it back up, ask your taxidermist how to do that <lol

wow, that last pic is of a real bruiser. Ears look small for its head and there is very little transition from head to body, the old no-neck. The first pics I agree are small bears, lots of daylight between gut and ground and also the ears on the one look like satelite dishes, but he'll get bigger next year! At least you have some coming around. In my experience, when there are ton of bears hitting a bait, then there (generally) isn't a monster in the area. I have hunted a couple different areas and if there is a bunch of bears hitting the bait, then all of a sudden the activity dies off but the bait is still gone, that is often a sign that a real brute has moved into the area as they are very territorial of their chow. Good luck at getting one!

Gotta agree with most of the posts. The picture in the beginning is a small bear. 150 lbs is probably generous, 125 more likely at the time of the pic. Second bear would die if he was under my stand. That's a nice bear.
