Mike, At one time I had a chart for estimating a bear's weight. You needed two measurements to use the chart. (1)lenght from nose to base of tail (2) girth just begind front shoulder.
With these measurements and the chart, one could calculate bear weight, and it was supposed to be accurate to within 20 pounds.
If I remember correctly, the chart was formulated by a biologist from PA, and he used the data from weighing more than 2,000 bears. Do you know where I could find this information? Thanks, Bob
