Spring Bushpig
Like many on here, this will be my first time actually targeting spring bears, and I have difficulty judging them on there age/size. I took a video of this guy in Quesnel yesterday, snuck up within 30-40 yards and watched him for 5 minutes before he realized I was there. He had a beautiful coat on him, they sure look nicer in the spring then fall.
So small medium or large bear?

Looks to be close to the 300lb range to me. Hard to tell for video. I would shoot for meat for sure.

i hunt therefore i am
he is a good size,, not overly huge or anything, if your looking for a big bear its good you passed on him, probably in the 4 yr old range.
ears are still close together and look very large.
if your after a trophy , you will know it when you see it,,the head looks like a pumpkin with smallish looking ears spaced far apart.

I would say nothing to big. You have to remember that its hair is 4-5 inches long so that will add to its size. Its ears also looked pretty big to me indicating a younger bear. Also the bear looked around a few times making sure it was not on someone else food source, another sign that its affraid of the other bears in the area. The big boys will no look up once to see whats going on around them as they are not usually affraid of too much.

Perfect size for the BBQ, a little small for the wall.
Great video, thanks
