What do you all think this bear?

[Boyd Brooks]

Dating myself here…. But perhaps…

“Mamma Cass”…

The Mamas and Papas had a song “dancing bear” in 1966 from their second album.

I find it peculiar that she reproduced with all of her bandmates LOL

I am guessing 16.5” and 400lb . . . But believe it is a sow.

For those in the habit of naming game that is captured on trail cams.. I think that guy is now officially "Fat Bastard"..

Holy hell that is one round bear!

Himmm well we couldn’t name her “Bud lite” (What to soon)
Definitely looks more like a “FatCoke” kind of girl!
Maybe in the name department “Gurtbucket”

All I see is a nice rug, then Y'all start talking about eating it again.
I've asked about this but still never looked at them as an eating species.
Congratulations on taking down this Fatty Pumba.

My guess would be that she's pregnant and will be giving birth this upcoming January. This would account for round belly and the binge eating/weight gain that so often accompanies it.

425 lbs currently but will slim down to 400 afterwards when she tries to get her figure back.

Skull might score decent, but not huge, and based on the skull I would say a sow as well
When you have a perfect triangle from ear to ear to nose, that is a big skull, but this one is long in the face

Give your opinion on what you think this bear will score and weigh. I’m typically good at judging a bear on the paw but this dude is not of the typical bear proportions that I normally look at. This bastard goes to Krispy Kreme before he hits the neighborhood garbage cans. I’m hoping to ground check him so we can put an end to the guessing!

Did Whoopi survive for the winter sleep?

Maybe slowwww dancing.

 

[MS 9x56]

Maybe a new species “round bear”.

 

[jlb1036]

Looks like whoopy goldberg

 

[Firebird]

Reminds me of “Hank the tank” that was living in Lake Tahoe area and living under a cabin. If a bear can get that big eating your garbage, imagine what that good food is
Doing to our bodies!

 

[Chaplin]

450lbs live weight. Don't think its up to 600lbs

 

[Tundra Tiger]

16.5"
400 pounds

And whereas @mdwest went with a dated but most excellent reference, I am going to go with a current musically inspired moniker and suggest Lizzo.

It did, never heard of anyone killing it.

IMHO black bear is one of the best tasting game meats, provided they live in the bush and don’t have access to any human garbage. Those I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole.
Bear lard makes some of the best pie dough you will ever eat. The hide also makes good leather for fur mitts and hats not just rugs.
