Long looking legs and a thin face , looks like a small bear . Might go 200lbs or might be a little more .

I would agree with chuckc - 400ish. Hard to say from just a pic but that is ballpark. Nice looking bear!

Does that make him big enough? lol  Good luck earl!  I know youve killed bears before so your guess would be way better than mine  ;)

not 700 but I don't know lbs I know feet and inches that is a boar and he is probably pushing 6'7 to even 7 foot depending on the time of year he could weigh 300 or 500

I think the most reliable way to tell the size of a bear is the distance between the ears and ear size in relation to head size...without being able to see either it is tricky to judge...I do think that bear is worth taking a further look at

Depends on how close you are to him.

4-5 yards away and he'll be plenty big!
