Hey Boys, it' s been a while, but I' m getting that itch to get out in the mountains again. 1st day out spot n stalk...nice thick cinnamon rug...

How big (or small) would ya figure... and WHY???

Is he a shooter for you?

150 lbs. max, but has a pretty coat.

Nice color but he doesn' t look to be a mature bear.

This bear does not appear to be mature. Judging by his underside, they say a mature bruin will have a large pot belly that looks low to the ground. Can' t tell if his ears look rounded and small for his head from this angle, another sign of a muture bear. If it was a regular color " black" bear I would not shoot it. Being a cinnamon phase??!!?!?.

I guess it would depend on late in the season it was, if I was on a guided hunt and had a lot of $$$$$ invested, if i lived where there was bear and could hunt them every year etc....

Oh hell just shoot the bear, bleach his skull, make a nice thick rug for the parlor.

Besides every bear wants to be a rug.

I agree, he' s young, but as others have said, his coat' s great, just wouldn' t be too big. I wouldn' t even call it a " pre-teen" though, it' s still an adolescent, barely out of cub-hood.

This may sound kind of funny but it fits. It looks too " cute" like a puppy looks compared to a dog. I would say he is fairly young. It doesn' t have the big head and the round body that an adult bear has.

I' d pass.

let him walk he looks like probably a 2 year old bear maybe 150 pounds i dunno still pretty little but the coat is nice will be worth takin in a couple years

Well, according to the local expert (a houndsman that has treed hundreds of bears and cats) that bear was a boar 3-4 years old, 5' 2" - 5' 4" and weighed about 200#' s. I watched him for a while, stalked him a took a few pics... I' ve watched 7 bears so far this spring, one I' m keeping my eye on.

Here' s a bigger one, if you can find him...
