He doesn't look like a juvenile, in which case, he's big enough for me...
Especially if you aren't getting a lot of action... Are you going to be happy if you don't notch your tag, knowing you could have had this guy...?? That's the real question... Pretty good lookin hide too...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-30-11 AT 01:34PM (MST)[p]Not an expert but it looks a little small to me. He has big looking ears and does not look tall. I would guess he doesn't even hit 200 lbs. As mentioned though he does have a great coat.

He is definelty not a monster but he doesn't have to be to make a nice bear! he is probably around a 5 footer. one way for you to tell since its your bait pile measure how long the logs are behind him. you put them there and it appears he is the same length. If you don't like the camera angle move the camera further to the left so when the bear walks by the logs you get an even better side by side profile picture. Bears are hard to judge in photos without reference. You can use anything in the world as a reference when baiting bears, a lot of people will use barrels. if the bear is twice the size fo the barrel it a big bear if hes is smaller than the barrel hes just a little fella. Good luck and if you whack him post the pic for us! Find the horn Goose!

Its a friggin bear! who cares, shoot the damn thing. Whens the last time you went some where and said "wow, that bears only 5 feet. I just can't believe they only made a 5 foot bear rug. Its well known ethical people only make rugs out of 7 foot bears!"
I think 90% of people really only look at a bear rug and say "wow, what a full and furry rug, how beautiful!"
I'm just dying laughing at these people on here critiquing the length of a bear. I guess the hypocricy on here knows no bounds lol!

I WANTED a bear rug for a LONG time. I shot the first bear I saw. It turned out to be above average size (for Idaho). I've shot several more since then.
I tend to agree that (seldom) does one question the size of the rug....but that is NOT a big bear.
Within the shadows, go quietly.
