    Hard to tell in that picture. He really blends in and there isn't much for size reference.

    I'll guess 125-175

    My bear was 183 dressed and it looks like that one is a littler smaller......should be really good eating....if you get the chance at a harvest I wouldn't hesitate at all.....bear meat is now top of my list as far as wild game goes...mmm mmm good.....good luck

    O I would take the shot if presented to me. Just curious as to how big he is. I know in VA many bears are not huge but he seems decent enough to take.

    really hard picture to judge but the long sloping neck is common on smaller bears.
