Boar or Sow?

[Rizzy]

I came across this Bear on my last scouting trip. The video sucks, the bear is only visible for a few seconds in the beginning, use the pause button. There were no cubs with it.

Is this a sow or a boar? I kinda think middle aged Boar based on the head and ears, but I don't have a lot of bear judging experience.

I'd agree with you Ron. Good space between his ears, he's confident vs jiggy, and his front end seems to be stouter than the rear. I'd say 4-5 yr old boar. Next years kill!

hard to say without a real good look at the head. My guess would be mature sow, muzzle didn't look too long or square, ears were small enough and far enough apart its prob not a young bear.

Long neck, short butt = boar.
