How big is this bear?
I've gotten mixed opinions on this bears size.
Any comments from you avid bear hunters would be appreciated! Here are some measurements that may help you decide.
The piece of wood my feeder is sitting on is 16 inches tall and it's another 16 inches from the top of the wood to the nose of my Browning feeder. The bear is standing about 5 feet behind it.
Species:
Black
Where: Minnesota
Method:

That bears a keeper. Big but not the best I ever saw IMO.
I suck at guessing bear weight but this boy looks like he might be the mayor of the town. Somewhere around 280 to 300#?
Being a bear hunter its about 300-325 Its a nice round bear. A few good ways to help determine a good size bear is pay attention to the space between the belly and ground. less space there is the bigger the bear. Another way is by looking at the ears. When the bear is facing you if you can clearly see the ears (mickey mouse ears what my group calls them) its a younger bear and if you see them then its a dandy.
