lets say you see this guy, and have only a second or two to size him up

what do you think??
 
Small to med -small . Ears are too large. I would pass. And with only a second or two look I dont like the shot. Then again I drink and am near sighted.
I don't advocate alcohol, drugs or violence to any one ,but, it has worked for me.
I figure this is a trick of some sort and someone took a picture of sylvester with their cell phone camera.
However I hear that "roof rabbit" is good eating and I might be tempted to fill my belly with it.
I hear it tastes just like chicken. :D

I have never hunted before, and to be honest my very first thought when I saw the picture was that it is a guy in a bear suit. No joke. Maybe that's just because it's coming from you todbartell. :)

Serious question: what difference does ear size make?

Rule of thumb is ... large ears = small head = immature bear
Also when you look from the side if you see long legs or a large distance from belly to ground you can Assume its a younger or smaller bear.
Also if you taste its scat if its sweet it is still a youngn' if it is rank/ripe like your underware after getting stuck up on a mountain for 2 days then you know you are on to a hog. ;)
But like all rules of thumbs there may be exceptions, who knows, maybe this is the Prince Charles of Bears:D

Cheers

Why do you ask? With the number of bears you have shot, you allready know the answer to your origional question, right?

Just curious...
 
Either those are giant leaves he (or she) is hiding behind, or that it is one cuddly teddy bear....nahhh I'll got for the cat too.
 
x3 on the kitty,
Please shed some light here : why do you ask this of us, when you know that the condidtion in the field dictates the action?

Do you want all of us to say : NOOO ! the bear was too small and I wouldn't have taken a shot.... ?????
