[QUOTE="RBetts, post: 342721, member: 22077"] That bear doesn't have enough length for 500 but It should go 300-350. Once over that 400 mark where I hunt they look disproportionate in length to height at the shoulder. I ran bear with dogs have seen many in this size that hit the scale. A good bear no doubt but once you see a 500 -600 pounder you'd know right away. I have been on one that was much bigger than a 535#er we took a week before. We figured it was about 650 in the snow his front paw walking quickly landed 10 inches in front of his back paw. Most bears in the 300# range land the paws almost perfectly in the same spot in that same depth of snow/speed. Looking at this bear his height is about the same in distance as his shoulder to his butt. 500# will have a length 2/3rds longer than that distance as a rule. The other thing. He is not wide a really good bear looks wider than he is from ground to shoulder [/QUOTE]
