    The pics were'nt taken 1 minute apart, more like 7 hours 6 minutes and 2 seconds, and the bear is not in the same exact position in both pics, but, is this the same bear? :confused:

    In the first pic its hard to tell if its a boar or a sow and the second pic it looks like a sow for sure. I don't have any pics later that show the white V, so its a little difficult to tell. Either way, it/they is/are a good bear(s). :tu:

    Here's a pic of the "first" bear closer to where the "second" bear is. Can't see the face, but gives a better idea of the body size.

    Honestly, its nearly impossible to tell for sure, but the first bear seems to be a bigger bear. The ears on the first bear seem smaller than the ears on the second.

    2nd bear is definatley the bigger of the 2 as you can tell in the size of the ears. The second bear's ears are way smaller or they look that way because of the size of the bear. Bigger bears tend to look like their ears are smaller because of the bulk of the animal. There both shooters in my mind. Good luck with your hunters Dan,they'll be pleased no matter what one they tag.

    I think they are the same bear... I heard Schultzy is still hunting, no bear for him yet.. But one of his crew got a 190 dressed bear.

    Checked the trail cam today when I put the hunter out there and now I am positive its the same bear. You can see the white mark on its chest and the same face. 95% sure its a big sow.
