How big is this bear and what age do you guess?

[superbee]

Shared these photos with Boar and he thought it would be fun to guess the weight and maybe age of this bear. I just know it is huge. The drum is 55 gallons. See it every year between a few different baits, only 1 or 2 times a season in daylight hours.

[BuckSutherland]

Wow! Over 600lbs easy. Dont know much about how to age them. Been around a lot steers in my life so I can fairly close on weight. That thing looks like a basketball with a head and legs.

Huge gut, relatively small ears, gotta say big bear! Cool shots.

[Boar]

I call him woody, a big tick with legs. I played it safe an said WELL over 500 lbs. Wat i like to think about is the rush one will get when tickzilla enters the bait site. Can one even come to the realization that he should try an shoot it or just look in awe, mouth wide open as dribble splashes on his camo jerking him back to reallity, but then its to late an he turns to leave an waddles outa site swallowed up by the Ontario bush. Just kinda how i've played out in my mind

+500# and I had one like him come into the bait a few years ago.They look like a VW Beatle waddling into the bait.

[BuckSutherland]

U guys are too low. He is closer to 700 than he is to 500.

Unreal.......

That is awesome

I think he weighs as much as you and your four wheeler

[kevfish1]

350 lbs

[PurpleFloyd]

625

[B-man715]

350 lbs

Do you mean kilograms??

Or maybe if you cut him in half

That bear is a tank!

[superbee]

350 lbs

seriously?

[x1957x]

I wonder if his feet hurt!

[Bear55]

Wow that thing is huge, over 600 for sure.

[AuggieDawg11]

With the belly that close to the ground, I would say 600+.

[maros91]

I'll say 750.

[bigbucks]

Don't know much about bears but he sure looks like that HUGE fat one that guy shot last year or the year before that was in some paper. I think that was over 700, seems like 830 or something just stupid. I gotta believe he's over 6 bills. I can't believe how FAT he is.

[CANOPY SAM]

I'm certainly no expert, but I'd have to assume this isn't a "he" but rather a "she"? Looks to me like she's carried many litters of cubs over the years, but I could be wrong...

I'd wager between 650-700 lbs. The gutpile alone would be as big as the 55 gallon barrel!

If you gutted that bear you might find a whole 200 lbs bear inside its belly.

[PartyWhine]

Well ... a 55 gal drum is 35" tall and 23" in diameter.

That helps.

So ... and it's tough to judge .... but

he appears to be, atmost, 6 feet long, maybe less.

I'll say a solid 5 bills and some change.

No way over 600, not long enough, yet.

If you can get a measurement of the width of its front paw print

you can "guesstimate" length and weight.

Here are a couple pics of the 420# bear we took to compare with. Not the best angles, but obviously the first bear is much larger than this one.

[BuckSutherland]

It is 600+ for sure.

And since nobody has guess on the age I will go first. "A pair of choppers." Some of you might know what I'm sayin.

17 Dollars how's that

Woody is a great name for that bear.

600 lbs +/-

I heard the phone so I ran in and guessed 12+ years

I am more curious what he has been eating and if he looks like that every year?

[superbee]

Here is a picture from last year

[Archerysniper]

WOW Huge

Here's the one I gave a hair cut a couple years back with my bow.This pick was about 5 min's before I sent my arrow when he gave me a good shot. He looked like a VW beetle in the bait and yours is bigger. A great bear and I hope you or one of your hunters can tag it. You know their huge when their belly almost drags the ground.
