Considering its carnivorous nature and general lack of fear of people, the only reasonable way to weigh a polar bear is to first tranquilze it and weight it in a sling weighing apparatus - something like the one at http://www.betterbarnyard.com/slings/ but larger - and with more legs or perhaps the one mentioned in the patent at http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4550686.html. The sling is slid under the tranquilzed animal, and the animal is raised off the ground with a winch attached to the weight gauge - which has to have a high capacity to handle an animal as heavy as a polar bear. The whole frame, winch, sling, and weight gauge would have to be carried by the heading out to make the measurements.
