What's your guess on weight.

[bhunterED]

One and only pic of this pig hoping to see it in person and have the opportunity to put it on the scale see what it does weigh.

He's a fatty for sure, 425 is my guess.

Hey hey hey , he’s not fat just under tall . No guess , but I hope you get him he’s a tank .

Well it’s very difficult to guess.  But the  ears o the head of the bear are small in nature and located down on the side of the head, indicating an older bear with a head circumference of 20 inches.  A guesstimate of the length from tipof the nose to the tail of the bear to be 6’6” and the width from tip of left paw to top of right paw to be s follows.  The back of the bear appears to be 36 inches in height. Add to this the length of each paw guesstimate 10 inches each = 36 x 2 =72 + 10x2+20, 92 total inches. 

So that would be 6’6” = 80+92= 172 divided by 2 = 86.  Divided by 12= 7.16 

estimate 460 lbs but not an expert with limited experience bear hunting only one killed in my life.  40 + years ago..  will be interested to see what others with more experience hunting and judging weight of bears will submit as their answer.  In fact I just acquired the procedure used to jguess the bear’s weight.

If I compare him to my sister in laws I’d say he’s close to being a B&C candidate.

Back in the day, when the NY southern zone gun season opened on a Monday and the PA bear season opened on a Saturday, I would travel to Wellsboro  (Gaines before that) to observe the fun and games at the bear check station. PA bear hunters are required to take their harvested bears to a check station within 24 hours of harvest. There wildlife technicians weigh the bear, pull a tooth for aging, determine the sex of the bear and sometimes do parasite studies. Wardens check hunters license and the determine GPS coordinates of each kill. Some harvest data is posted on a whiteboard so the public can see what has been brought in. Most bears are brought to the check station in the back of a pick-up where they are weighed on a tripod scale in full view of the public. Many people venture guess as to the weigh and most are quite wrong. I have probably observed the weighing of at least a hundred bears over the years, I still can't guess their weight. Smallest bear I observed weighed 28lbs and largest 640 lbs. Most weigh between 100-150lbs. My (bad) guess for the pictured bear would be 350-400lbs. The really big ones stomachs are close to the ground.

Didn't go last year due to the Cuomo-19 virus. No idea what PA has planned for this years check stations.

Definitely a big bear.  I'm in the 350 to 400 club.
