what size is this bear with vid

[david doyle]

got a quick sec so thought i'd pick the experts brains. This is the largest of about 30 bears we have seen in the past couple days. Just wondering what you figure it weighs. all I know is that all the others seemed smaller. I don't think this a large bear just noticed that it seemed a bit chunkier then the others. Hide is starting to look very patchy.
This one was just off the road and never stopped plowing greens into it's maw for the 20 mins I watched him. The others we saw were all sows with cubs doing the same thing on greened up winter roads and beaver pond fringes.

Look at the relative size of the ears.Smaller looking ears usually means bigger bear.

I would guess 180-200 lbs not a very big bear.

Not a big bear and I'd bet a sow.

Thanks for the input. Curious omega what what makes you think sow? I had made a pure guess at boar as all the confirmed sows we watched were distinctly lacking the paunch that this one is lugging around. The ones with small cubs in tow looked down right emaciated. No doubt about it while not large this bear is carrying an admirable belly.

Thanks Rob, Your guess is spot on (within 15 lbs) with Tanya's. Two of my favorite people can't be wrong. Putting together some pics and email get it to ya shortly.

He's a pudgy little Boo Boo, but he's a Boo Boo nonetheless.
