In 2008 I helped some friends haul a 400 pounder out once and this one looks at least that big. I'll never forget none of them had a knife on them, and of course we had to haul it out with guts in (don't ask me why they do it that way). Then we get to the trucks and they didn't have a knife there either, rolled my eyes, pulled my case canoe pocket knife out and dressed it.

That bear has a big blocky head. The ears look small and far apart. Somewhat on the side of the head. Sign of a mature older bear. Which is way more important then weight. Although if I had to make a bet on how much it weighs. By fall it will be well over 300 lbs live weight! So dressed that would be 250-275 lbs.
