Seems pretty easy. How high is the bottom of the feeder?

I don't know the exact height, maybe 38-40"? A mature deer's back will be almost to the bottom of the feed chute. 1000lb capacity feeder.

It is really hard to tell with those pictures so I am going to just throw an answer out there. Less than 200 pounds? Really need more and better pictures.

Looks leggy, like a younger bear.

Tall looking bears with long legs usually means young. Short legs with belly dragging the ground is likely a big paunchy old boar.

Put some reflective or light colored electrical tape at a specific height on the feeder legs,next pics you'll have a reference point.

I killed one in 2007 that looked about the same size and it dressed out at 165 pounds.

Ears look big too. I would say young bear 200 lbs maybe. Small for Colorado bears.
