He is about 200 lbs at the max.

I'm gonna guess 165 -190 range at current.

225lbs as others have said

I would say after several days of hunting, if that was the first bear to come in. I would be sending a arrow his way.

There is noooooo way to tell from a pic like that. bears are extremely hard to feild judge weight without solid reference point to compare the bear to. Our baits are 45 gallon drums and from the height of it's back to the barrel you can get an decent idea. Even then guestimates are sometimes 50-75 lbs off!

80-90 lb cubs in that pic? Man oh man you guys must have monster bears compared to Northern Ontario.

The distance of the camera from the bear is another factor. Ever make your fish look bigger by strecthing your arm out to the camera?


You just can't guess from a pic like that without being the guy who set the bait and camera IMO.

How big is this guy? The distance from the camera and no reference points are key factors in the difficulty of judging. He was shot 3 times with a blunt head arrow last fall during late season archery. Bear was closed and he didn't have sense enoough to hibernate and kept screwing up a guys deer hunt. As a result he's been seen up close a few times and we know how far the camera is in this pic and what size the things around him are.

I'm curious to see what guesses come on him as well and then I'll give you a pretty decent guess based on our first hand observations.

I'll hopefully have the final word on his weight with another pic of me and him come Sept 1st as well.

Ok I'll be first. I'm thinking the the 150-175 range

190, 225 tops

My guess 175 - 190.
