I think these guys were bigger....mature at least.....With meat in the freezer and two more weeks of season......didnt want to be without incentive.

Tough to tell about the size from the video. Bears all look pretty tiny at a distance on camera unless you have some serious optical zoom. Around 4:13-4:15 we have a look at how it runs and it doesn't run like a tank. Looks like a smaller bear, maybe 150lbs? I could be way off. You were there. What would you guess?
I would say not a very big bear. Probably made the right call.
150 is probably right....Quote:

Great job on seeing this many bears.... I shot a bear once and won't ever agin..Just a personal choice... I am not against it at all. One thing I can tell you is I now can't wait til deer, moose or elk season
That second one looked decent. It's hard to tell with those kind of sports cams, kinda looks like flattened fish eye video and obviously no zoom. When I see a bear that looks like it's 50-70 yards away but still looks a little more significant that a squirrel, I think that is a significant bear, over 200... maybe 250lbs. The excitement from the kid is absolutely priceless. You can tell he's having a good time and will remember these bear encounters forever.Quote:

Thank you for bringing us along and sharing the videos too. If you have a point-shoot camera with at least 8X optical zoom you'll be able to haul in some pretty darn good footage too in case the memories fade. If not, they're only around $100-150.
Through the binos he looked quite decent....old tired face...all gray...odd looking right eye .....big butt...made me think it could be a sow.Quote:
