Size and age guesses please.

No idea on age. Its a pretty decent bear around here.

need a picture of him facing the camera, the distance between the ears, will help tell the age and size, the more distance the better and bigger, you could measure the tree to see how high his back is off the ground

Best guess is 200 ponds plus or minus a bit. Boar, probably younger than older. They can put on a lot of miles this time of year.

I don't want to butt heads with anybody, maybe they build black bears different where you are, but I've never seen a 200 pound black bear with ears as prominent as the one pictured above.

I can only tell by the ears. If they look small, the bear's head is large. A very large bear seems to jiggle as it walks.

I’d guess 250-300 pounds, age is hard to say, his teeth would tell that story better than a picture

Likely a bit over twice the weight of that deer.

The bear ain't much taller than the doe. Yes, a head on pic would tell more of a story. The saying still is true, big bear ears = a small bear.

In WI i'd put hid 225-250#,he will put on some good weight by fall. Breeding season so boars are on the move. Age is buy removing a small tooth and sending it in, then you would know.
Our bears put on weight and size younger then my buddys up in NW Ontario. The big difference is food, we have lots of it and easy to get, crops, berries,a corns,and on and on. We shoot 400-600 lb bears around here Taylor county but their age is 5 years and up. My buddys place bear age have been aged up to mid twenties and never get that weight. Different areas though.

That's a Bang bear

I would say 300 boar. They are really cruising now. We are seeing them and a lot of sign of them now also.

I shot this boar several years ago. It's ears are out on the side of it's head, and relatively short. This bear may have weighed 200 pounds, but I wouldn't swear to it. It was an eight year old bear.
The ears and head of the bear in the OP's picture are more on the top of the head and a little more prominent. It's obviously an adult bear and I would consider it worthy of taking if it's to your liking.
A dead bear is awkward dead weight, and I think are probably the most likely animal to be overestimated when guessing weight.

Long, thick hair makes those northern bears look bigger.

Got this pic last week here in southern Georgia......this bear will likely push 300 lbs...at least 275 lbs. Short hair on these bears.

Trap Setter- My family and I have kille da number of bear and we love eating them. In my opinion, if it was bear season and I had a tag, that bear would have a very bad day. I think it's a nice one.

Moosetrot

Here is another one same location, must be a travel route, but was apparently later the same day so who knows.

That’s a good bear there. Any bigger and they aren’t worth eating. I’ll take the 200-300 pound bears all day. I know where there’s a few pushing 600 pounds, but they got that way eating trash. I’d rather shoot the 200 pound berry picker than the 600 pounder that eats rotten fish and dirty diapers out of the community trash pit

That's a different bear. It looks to be bigger, and well groomed compared to the scraggly haired one posted earlier.

He said it was a different bear…but you’d have to be blind as a bat to not notice on your own. So I guess I’m trying to figure out where you’re going with that observation

2nd bear is a very nice boar.

Where am I going?
How about we meet behind the woodshed Hoss. Pick a time and don't be late.
Here is what he said. "Here is another one same location, must be a travel route, but was apparently later the same day so who knows."
"another one" means another picture.
This is backed up by him stating "so who knows?", as in, who knows if it the same bear or not.
Lower 48ers talk different than Eskimos so I won't begrudge you for your confusion.

If you mean that you’re an idiot. I’m in my prime and I cut timber everyday for a living, there isn’t a man alive I can’t whoop in a fight. I would beat the brakes off you dude. Also “here’s another one” with a picture of what’s clearly a different bear, tells me it’s a different bear. As it would anyone who observes. But if you want to throw down, buy a plane ticket, you can usually find me bellied up to the bar at the Craig Inn on a Friday evening…

That crease in it's noggin is about all you need to see.

I don't mind miller lite but if buddies are coming over I'll get some natural.

Lol

You sound awesome. Next time I’m visiting my buddy up that way, I’ll stop in to the Craig Inn and buy a few for us.

Sounds good to me

Wow this got rough fast. Yeah I ment another bear but I dont begrudge anyone who thought I ment another picture. I did say I know nothing about bear lol

Anyhow here is one from yesterday



Ive had this camera up since last September and these have been the first pictures of bears on the property. 40 acres and 6 cams this is the only one with bears. I'm still thinking it must be the shortest route between two places they want to be.

Looks like Ted has a good stand for bear.

Could be he does

Dang! I even used the "smiley face" on my response.
Must be the mosquitos are gettin thick up yonder. That'll set a man off I guess.

No worries man. I don’t like being ornery, but backing down when someone asks me to meet behind the woodshed isn’t in my nature either lol

I thought he meant another picture until you looked at it as well. That second picture is a good one for sure.

When their front legs start resembling barrels and as Waggler said about the ears and crease in the forehead, all are indicators of a thick boar. I wouldn’t pass on that second bear for nothing.

Mine .neither.lol

The first one is a sow, 150 pounds, the second one is a big adult male. BIG adult male. The rut is just getting in swing.

Good to hear partner. I don't have any enemies, and I ain't looking for any. I was just pulling your leg. The written word doesn't convey that very well.
Ironically, the less than clearly written words from the OP is what lead to our colorful engagement. lol

Well rather than throwing down, if you ever want to tip a few back, you’ll know where I can be found lol

Not all bears are big I have taken a dressed 265 pound bear that was 26 years old ( aged by DNR)

First bear is definitely a dime a dozen, second is a fairly decent boar.
