Heck yea he's 300+ easy! He'll be bigger yet come fall when he starts laying the fat on.

I'm fricking pumped Kyle!!!!!!!!!!!! You better believe it man!!!!!

Can someone explain to me how you are judging that bear's weight with nothing in the picture for scale?

I'm curious, I've seen quite a few bears here in PA and have been a little too close to some of them and I don't see a 300+lb bear? especially after hearing that another bear 6" taller at the shoulder was also there as well.

The ears just disproprtionately big for the bears head for it to be 350# or more? Or maybe I just think Tim's a wuss and the thing is the size of a $20 Boyd's bear and he's overreacting with his 6 shooter? :D

I'll try and explain some Matt. 1st of all Matt his ears are on radar because he knows somethings up. If he wasn't them ears would be out to the side.

1. Look at his front shoulders and chest, very thick!
2. His eye's are tiny and far apart.
3. Look at the distance between his gut and the ground, not much there and that will shrink even more.
4. His head is a block!

BUT Tim's still a wuss right? And just how much bigger would a bear1/2 foot taller at the shoulder be? [:-]

RE: My encounter with a big bear this past weekend!!
 

Might not be bigger. Who knows!

My dads bear was 7' head to toe and weighed 185lbs. It was all legs and nothing else. The next year my cousin shot a 7' bear and it weighed 398lbs. Bear are weird that way.

I could be wrong too on his weight but either way thats a dandy bear Tim seen.

I'm with you, Matt. People scoff at other hunters.....laughing at them....saying they don't ask fora maturebuck's birth certificate.....

......and in the same breath they'll tell you they can discern adifference in bears (with no reference)estimate his weight, length, height, etc...

Horse ****? He was black. That's gospel!
