i really know nothing about bear.  seems like he's got a small body though compared to his head.  also i've been told to look at the width of his ears.  big up right ears closer together means a small skull and young?? idk.

Got to be at least a year and half since he's not with the mother anymore. I think they usually shoo them away if theyre ready to have newborns. Id kill it cuz someone else will.

My rule is I'll shoot the first bear I think will completely fill up the bed of my 3500 dodge pick up truck, anything smaller I ain't wasting the time, let him grow up to be some big bruiser

He is definitely less than 100 lbs, with the guts left in him when weighed

Mom could be right near him just not on camera?

Good point. I would like to see her harder drag but bigger rug and some good eating.

That bear right there is not this years cub so it has to be alone just by the size. What county is this? I know that bear needs to start foraging cuz he's skinny be lucky to make it through hunting season let alone winter in the adks.

This is orange county

By the time hunting season rolls around that bear will have put the feed bag on big time and be around 125 pounds I would guess. It is definitely not a young one of this year.

[biggamefish]

84.45 lbs!!!!!

NYS DEC website has a great reference for aging and sizing bears, along with all of the restrictions. Ill see if I can dig it up on my bookmarked sites.

Bears stay with their Cubs for two years so she might be off camera. I'd agree with the 80-100 guesses
