It is so hard to tell the weight of a lone bear with nothing to judge it off of. Just a suggestion I would take a pic of yourself or a hunting buddy in the same spot. Then you will kind of have a reference of his height and weight. The fact that the bear is laying there tells me he is probably the boss bear in that area. I would have say he is around 300#. Very nice bear.

I'd say 300-350, but I don't see many bears anymore since I moved to IL.

What part of Wisconsin is this beast in? I have a few Bear on some property I hunt on located in Oconto County, but nothing of this size. Nice pictures!
