Nothing much for reference unfortunately. I know nothing about bear hunting. We just bought some new land and threw some bait out just to see what's in the area. Got a picture of this guy(gal?) stealing it.

Nice bear. I would guess 350-450lbs. Killed some here in Eastern NC over 700lbs. Big enough to eat a bullet and put on the smoker or fryer....

Thanks. I figured it was a decent bear but compared to that deer it didn't appear to be a monster. I have enough points to hunt anywhere in the state and just bought land in a county where you can pull a bear tag every other year, sometimes every single year.  Now I can choose to either cash in all those points to hunt here or get my ass in gear on a guided hunt in the northern part of the state so I can start bear hunting down here. |

Field judge by the ears. Bad angle for the camera but big ears is a small bear. Ears look small on the head, you have a shooter. More to it but with no experience then follow that and you wonât be disappointed.

Looks decent. Has small ears, good belly, and isn't lanky looking.

I think itâs a 6â boar. Total body composition and weight distribution makes me thinks itâs at least 6â. Age and feed could make it bigger. Thatâs a mature boar, though.

Big enough to shoot in my book, that's the only measure I'm qualified to make.

Not sure if I want to burn all my 11 points for a tag only to hunt someplace I could get a tag every year or two at. Looking at my options for hunts up where the big guys are at but after seeing this guy hanging around our property, not sure it's worth all the fuss. |

No, sadly it wasn't in the cards to run bait out there often enough to burn my bear points up having a go at it. And now the cards have been re-dealt and we are selling the land. Sucks but it is what it is. We have a decent bear population behind our house, ten acres of land the house sits on, and thousands of acres of public land it connects to so it doesn't throw bear hunting out the window but my god, there are some monsters out on that land... |

Sorry to hear that @Towely I live on 1.26 acres so no baiting for bear or deer for me. But there is massive private land close by in permanent conservation where I hunt deer so I havenât needed to definitely get my own land. |
