azhuntnut Report post Posted May 11, 2014 I found these tracks while scouting for turkey. I haven't killed a bear yet, so I'm not experienced enough to tell if this is a big bear. They sure seemed larger than most of the others I have found. This was the second set I found in a 5 mile square. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready2hunt Report post Posted May 11, 2014 It would depend on how big that knife is. If the paw is as big as your hand then it's a good size Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidso Report post Posted May 11, 2014 The best standard of general size is to measure the width of the front pad. Five-six inches across is a good bear. Eight or more is a GREAT bear!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

borntohunt Report post Posted July 22, 2014 Good rule of thumb is the width plus 1. So if its a 5 inch wide track it would be close to 6 foot bear. if its a 4 inch wide track its most likely a 5 foot bear. I have shot a few bears, and with running dogs. Its pretty close. Happy hunting 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
