Bear size?

Bears in my part of central Minn aren't real common, but an occasional one isn't out of the ordinary either. To my inexperienced eyes it looks like a good size animal but I really dont know bears. My neighbor says its only 200lbs live weight, to me it just looks bigger. Thoughts?

200 lb boar

That's bigger then 200#s.

Bang size

250

Well he's got a set for sure LOL

235 or250

250

I’d agree bigger than 200. He’s got a mature blocky muzzle, he has a few years on him.

Osky

I'd let it grow.

Live weight would say 250 plus. Hard to judge nothing to compare it to.

250-300

There’s not a lot of daylight under that belly and he’ll pack on some pounds before season… 250 is a good guess and north of that when bear season approaches

That’s a 200# bear all day long. Zero chance at 300. You’ll know when you get a big boy…the head will look like a pimple and the gut will hang.

The heavier the bear, the less space between the ground and it's belly.

You guys gotta realize, it July!

Aint many wild bears gonna have a sagging belly this time of year.
It's a good bear and by fall, it'll put on some weight.
Just from that little clip, I'd say he's already 275# plus.

I agree with the guys saying 250+. Osky pointed out the blocky muzzle and bucksnbears pointed out it's going to put on considerable weight over the next three or four months.

Eatin size!

Always taught a big bear had small ears on its head. The ears aren't looking all that small, guessing under 250 lbs. Nice looking bear but needs a year to grow into itself yet.

Yup. Good size bear. I weigh about 230 right now and he’s got a few pounds on me

Definitely bigger than 200 probably closer to 300. Good sized adult male.

300 lb frame. Will go 350 by fall with good eats, maybe more.
