Guesstimate on size of this fella? The last week I’ve had bears galore on camera. Made this mock scrape today, doe came by used it then few hours later this boar came in. He’s the smaller of the 3 I’ve been seeing with any consistency. Any guess on what he’d go weight wise??

Definite boar based on his front wrists...thick. Can not see his head but overall looks like a decent body. No idea on what bears weigh in your area? Looks like a potential shooter if you can't bait there?

For sure a boar….communicated thru the camera and asked him to verify his identity..lol.

And he’s good size for this area. There’s bigger around tho. Not to to many get taken so I’m not the best guess on bear size.

And T-Roy bear tags for residents are super expensive $5….. I got one ready!

And Kurt your correct. No baiting in MA.

IMO....the 200 - 225 range mentioned above is fair.

Impossible to figure size without something to judge height and length… I will say the way the body structure is I think it’s a boar..
