looks like a bruiser, but also hard to tell with the "sit behind the animal" camera pose/trick so many do now. Nothing against the hunter or course, just hard to tell size and weight from a pic.

Where should the hunter position themselves for the photo? I don't think it's a 'trick'.

Love the photo! A simple congrats without the backward hand slap would have been fine. Guess in the DEC article no one commented about the pic.....just a guess though.

it's not like she came here and posted the picture herself, it was just a note when trying to guess at the bears size and weight. I don't think anyone meant anything negative at all.

hell if you shoot a nice bear you can stand on your head with a banana hammock on if you want, doesn't matter to me. But "fish hands" and other camera "tricks" will give the illusion to larger horns, fish or animals than they really are. Personally, I think it's easier to tell size when the hunter sits just behind the animal holding its head up. But again, do what you want, i've never killed a bear lol.

I'll be sure to remember that. I'll make sure to stand just right, exactly side by side of the head (bear) or horns (deer), or fish. And I'll hold a tape measure out and a dollar bill in the frame for reference, so no one can say I wasn't doing a "trick" photo.   wow

Congrats to the youth for getting out there and having fun, scoring on a nice bear. What a hunt that must have been!

I agree,
And I think it's a real big bear. Or
Someone put its ears in the dryer

I swear with you guys sometimes. bears are notoriously hard to judge size. All we have is the ears and the triangle. Just a conversation about how big he is and nothing more and not a conversation in front of the young lady. give your virtue signaling a rest.
