He is huge. Very long and the distance from his belly to his back is bigger than the distance from his belly to the ground. Short and stocky looking legs. 500 most likely but I have seen them shrink when hitting the ground.

no where near 500 pounds. I'd say about 350-400. If you have a 500 pound bear his belly would be within inches of the ground. Good luck though! Still a nice one!
