Leaf River Pic - How big is this bear?
 

I got my first bear pics last week from PA. How big do you guys think this guy is?

Anyone w/ Photoshop able to lighten this up a bit so we can see him better? I know he isn't a small one, but not sure how big he really is.

Any thoughts?

Well...I tried making it a little easier to see. Not sure if it helped or not. Hopefully I'll see him during the season.:D

I'm no bear hunter but to me, it appears to be an immature animal. I maninly suspect this due to the fact that the bear lacks the full rounded belly and it's legs look "long". A mature boars legs look much shorter.My buddy has one pic of a WI giant that the locals suspect will weigh 600#! I'll try to grab the pic from him sometime and scan it.

To give you guys a reference on him, that is a 5 gallon bucket and there is 18" of dowel sticking out of the bottom. With this as a reference, it appears as if his head is about 36" high. Now that the pic is lightened up a bit, it is easy to see how large his ears are compared to his head, I am thinking about 180-200 as well. Anyone know how large their home territory is usually?

This bear is located in 3B, so this year I will have the chance to take a shot at him if given the chance during the first week of deer rifle season. ;)
