    Got a good pic of a bear up at the cabin. I don’t have any experience judging the size of a bear. Any educated guesses?

    Real big! When the belly is almost dragging that’s a good indicator it’s a tank, but I’m no expert and haven’t stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in years… jester

    Hard to tell off of one picture, but looking at his body characteristics good chance he is pushing over 400lbs. Nice bear!

    Is this one of those state fair guess the weight type games? If so, I’m going 388.8#

    Nice bear. The picture doesn’t give a ton to go off of for overall length and head size, but it’s clearly well fed.

    That is the size of bear that if they ask to dance with your date, you say yes.

    Not a good weight estimator but that thing looks about as round as it is long. I’m guessing that one ain’t built for speed.

    Looks like it has 6 feet. Is there a cub on the other side of it? Could be shadowing it and making it look bigger. Big bear for sure.

    Could be because when you blow up the photo, just to the right of the tree, there is a dark shadow like maybe another bear.
