Try and guess the size of this polar bear

[Dragan N.]

One of my Inuit buddies shot this polar bear just this spring. Anyway since there is sometimes debate about the size of an animal because of how a picture is taken etc... to make it look bigger and so on I figured it would maybe be neat to try this with the gun in the photo as a reference and right next to the bear. I'll reveal the size after a few guesses...

By looks of the pic I would say 12'. That said, the record is just over 11' ....hmmm WOW!

 

[cpr0312]

How big is it... I'd say big !

Ok, I'll guess 10'5

 

[thi9elsp]

I would say 10 to 10 1/2

 

[Royal27]

I'm guessing just over 10. It's big regardless.

 

[edward]

i got to take the easy way out,11 feet or a little over.

 

[BRICKBURN]

Just under 10 and I mean just. Nose to toes.

 

[kathy]

Large, 10'2''. Forrest

 

[Redruff]

That's a 10'7 nanuk. Thanks for sharing.

[1dirthawker]

i think BnC is close, so, 9'3" squared?

 

[375 Ruger Fan]

9'-10"

 

[geoff rath]

Big enuf to need a big caliber... 10'+?

[Wayne t]

11/11.6

 

[rinehart0050]

9.8 feet

 

[LivingTheDream]

I'm thinking 9.5 ft

 

[CAustin]

Nine feet 10 inches. Big bear!

 

[BnC 04]

So what did it square out? Nose-tail and across front pad's? Beautiful bear!

I say 8ft 9 inches nose to tall. Does not look like one of the giant polar bears to me but that is a bad pic to judge from.
