    Same bear? Age? Weight?
    Never seen a bear, so I would like to hear from some people who have experience with them.

    The first two pics looks like a young bear, 100-125lbs ish.. The bear in the third pic is hard to tell, almost seems like a different bear to me.

    I agree - the first bear is likely a 1.5 yr old and little over 100 lbs maybe up to 120(first time away from momma). The 2nd bear looks to be a little bigger, likely one year older and somewhere between 130 and 160 lbs.. Tough to say without references(knowing the size of the trees), and the bears can vary a lot in size(vs age) from region to region depending on food sources.

    Looks like it's the same bear to me also. But I could be wrong

    I would say its the same bear in the first two pictures. Pretty young bear 100-120. The bear in the third pic looks to be a little bigger..150. It's really hard to tell though since the camera got knocked and we lost reference points
