I was just curious what you bear hunters thought of this guy. I am not too sure what a good bear is because i have only seen them through spotting scopes and scopes, He looks big to me but im not too sure. Let me know what you think. This pic was taken awhile ago on a trail cam. the bear tore the camera apart right after that pic.

that was my guess was about 300 lbs. this was about 4 miles from the desert just on the edge of the timberline before you drop into it. I have been hearing that people have been seeing bears in the desert and i really didnt believe it til i saw this. we definately have a very high population if they are clear out in the desert.
