These are prints I think of a grizzly boar who normally resides about 2 miles away. He was less than 500 yards from our place on a landing road. Makes life interesting. At least there is one, not 7 like last year. The front paw is 6 1/2 inches wide. The back paw is 12 inches long from heel to claw tip. A 20 gauge grouse hunting, just doesn't seem adequate. LIG
A buddy just said that you multiply the width of the front paw times 100 lbs and that is it's weight. 650 + lbs.
The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.
The worst day slinging lead is still better than the best day working.
Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

So a 4" track would be made by a 400 lb bear?! LolOriginally Posted by tigrr

Welcome to my ignore list SS Steve. If you think derailing the thread with that comment is your best work, then I won't miss ya.
Derailed in 3 posts that must be a new record. I am going to set a new record for not posting anything.

It was directed to your buddy who suggested the size reference but feel free to do as you please.

Hmmm rule of thumb..take the width of front print...in this case 6 1/2 inches ? Add 1....equals 7 1/2 inches now change that to feet.
So that 6 1/2 inch wide front track is a 7 1/2 foot bear.
Formula is add one..change to feet.and after a whole lots of years is pretty darn accurate .
Still a pretty big bear, nice photos.
Cheers
