Grizzly Bear - How much would he weigh?

[BCsniper]

Hey guys!

I have a Grizzly bear on my trail camera and I have my brother as reference for perspective. I am trying to figure out the weight of this bear but without having any first hand knowledge I thought you could help guestimate the weight and size.

thanks!

I don't know how much he would weigh but after overlapping the images you can see the bear is moving towards, and is much closer to the camera than your brother so it is a bit of an optical illusion on its big size.

I still wouldn't want to wander into it regardless of its size!

about 400 lbs

At least 3 brothers.

Hard to tell. Takes a lot of bear to make 300 - 400 pounds.

Hahahaha Thanks for the replies, he could eat 3 brothers for sure. :)

Without better pictures it is hard to tell. But your guestimates were great.

Thanks for the photoshop Mountain Hunter.

Figured I would add 2 more pictures as Mountain Hunter added a great point.
