It's hard to say without a size reference to go by, like another animal standing in the same spot, but based on what I see I'd say around 275lbs

Big enough to make it a really not so fun drag      Looks pretty good though

If the ears look small on its head the bear is big.  This bear to me anyway looks to be about average so like others have said 250-300 lbs.

This one was on camera Fall of 2015 near me.  Note how small it's ears look.

It's a respectable black bear for NY state and is pretty chubby, so I wouldn't be surprised if it went 300.

Bigger than I would care to drag out. Looks like a nice one though.

Not very big. Would be surprised if he broke 200.

I would say he's right around the 200 mark.

There hard to judge unless you do it consistently and have time to compare bear against a know backdrop. A Adirondack bear seldom gets all that big due to their activity, and food available. One see much bigger bears in agriculture areas and other states when hunted over active bait.

This is a mature sow of about 275 and note the rounded ears set wide apart, drooping belly and high arch of her hips compared to her front shoulders. She had triplets last year and is a good bear of the deep woods.
