Default huge bear?

going thru the trail cam pics came to this one. Too me that bear looks huge. Any other thoughts? Wish I had a better picture of him.Log by his foot is close to 4 ft long.

a barrell is only waist height at best, thats what id go by. if that was a big dominate boar the smaller one wouldnt be at the barrell, he'd be haulin ***** out of his way.

True at times, but durring the rut the dominant boar will let HER eat... he's just following and waiting

If the barrell were stood up it's back would be to the top, or slightly over. Good chance he's pushin the 7' mark... nothing wrong with that one...

to me the log looks shorter than the barrel, i've seen lot's of bears close up and I would have to say he's around the 5' mark. too much work for too little skin
