Bear- how old?

[spistols]

Had this one show up at my house on Monday night. In one picture it looks big, but up against the garage door, not as big. Trying to get an idea on the age of the bear, and if anyone is experienced with them, gender and approximate weight based on what you see.

Don’t know much about them but usually when the ears look like these it means a young and small bear.

 

[DinkyDau]

Looking at the garage door maybe 150-175lbs not sure about age or gender.

 

[Pistolier60]

I'm guessing somewhere around the 200 pound range. So probably a youngster.

young

Youngster, but I'd stay away. The farmers up here in NC are having trouble with the bears eating the peanut crops.

The ears and in comparison to the tire its not real big, but big enough

His whole body in relation to the tire is small. I wouldnt think he is much over one year. Maybe a year and six months. My original answer some how ended up on a Grizzly thread. I have no clue how that happened.

Where is this at , that you spotted him ?
He doesn’t look that old…looks like he is looking for a garbage can to rummage thru

Little guy. Youngster, hardly more than a cub.
