To be honest I feel pretty good about mine... Honestly I think the weight is between me and ClemD about 268ish....J_Birdman wrote:With exactly 48 hours left in the comp I'd say your chance is pretty darn high, but who knows!INTIMID883R wrote:Thank you.

Who here feels REALLY confident in their bear's weight? I sure don't!
It doesn't matter what the weight is. My glacier bear weighed 578 lbs, easily the heaviest, but your bonuses are for score.J_Birdman wrote:With exactly 48 hours left in the comp I'd say your chance is pretty darn high, but who knows!INTIMID883R wrote:Thank you.

Rares: 86 NTs: 29 I think that even studying the pic collection for two hours led me to the conclusion that I I'll probably be lucky to be within even 75lbs of the target.xOEDragonx wrote:I'd also like to see who thinks they're really confident in their guess and why.

Sure it does, the weight is the meat and potatoes of this comp, the high score bonuses are just a lucky morsel.stancomputerhunter wrote:It doesn't matter what the weight is. My glacier bear weighed 578 lbs, easily the heaviest, but your bonuses are for score.
Ashley, I thought I read somewhere in your story that we are going for the weight that the check station estimated it to be. Is that the case or are we going for the weight of your bear after it was field dressed?xOEDragonx wrote:Definitely a nice bear. Congrats Tony. Len is going to be disappointed that you stole the biggest chocolate bear from him though, and he won't be around to do anything about it
It has definitely been interesting to watch this one play out from the sidelines. The range of the guesses is impressive and it shows just how hard it is to judge these guys! I'm looking forward to sharing the actual weight and measurements with you all.
There's still plenty of time for those who don't have an entry yet to jump in, and plenty of time to make changes if you're having any last minute doubts about your current entry

I know it says "live" weight, but I wasn't sure if it was weighed before it was field dressed, or field dressed first then taken to a check station where they do tooth aging, take measurements & estimate what the live weight might have been.

Yeah, that. Most hunters, unless they bring a scale in the woods, field dress the animal & weigh it "dry" (without guts) & estimate the live weight.Nockedup wrote:I know it says "live" weight, but I wasn't sure if it was weighed before it was field dressed, or field dressed first then taken to a check station where they do tooth aging, take measurements & estimate what the live weight might have been.
