Big?

[SouthGa Fisher]

Dropped a camera out back in August and they've always messed up my camera angle trying to chew it up. Finally got it to stay (at least for a while, they finally got it down). I had TONS of pictures over the last 2 weeks. Mainly the same 3 cubs/sow but I do have this one coming through every few days. The ears seem big and from what I've gathered big ears = small bear but this one just looks big and old to me. Even decided to stick his tongue out I guess to taunt me. Thoughts?

Also threw in my favorite pic as well with the cubs (mama not pictured).

Not a big bear. But it is in really good shape for its size.

thanks for the feedback. The face just gives me the “old” vibes.

That is a thoroughly average, fall-fat bear. He'd fill the freezer half full.

I'd be perfectly fine with that. It's also all downhill from there to the truck

Yeah, I'd shoot it with no hesitation.

All down hill. I’d be happy with that! Nothing I’ve killed this destiny has been a downhill drag

That’s unfortunate for sure. I intentionally park at the bottom of a ridge and hike up. Luckily this place is unpressured for the most part and I have that flexibility (and there are bear there).

If you ever need help getting one out feel free to PM me. I’m glad to help anyone I can.
