I kinda have to agree with 7-08.... that’s one HUGE freaking bear, and that photo makes it look like just another long-arm photo of a run-of-the-mill specimen.
Great bear, crappy photo.

But did he get a pass through??
It just boggles my mind that there are black bears waking around that would make the grizzlies I’m used to look like dinks.

This Bear was killed in 2010 and had been fed pastries for 17 years by a fella who worked at a local resort.

So it was the junk food that killed him!
Or should we just not be surprised that a guy who would shoot a resort Dump Bear to bag the Record would be someone who’d long-arm the Hero Shot??

Sure was 2010.... there where several others around that weight taken.
All in all, pastries, garbage, whatever... couldn’t imagine seeing that bear walking.
Must have been as big as a VW

They got another over 800 lbs in rifle season this year not far from where this bear shot. Just over the border in Monroe Co in Smithfield Township. That makes 7 bears over 800 lbs taken in Pa. over the years.

Met his brother once while hunting/visiting my ex's gma. Showed me much better pics than the one shown. It was unbelievably huge.
I'll never forget that trip. It was the first/only time I've seen someone use a chainsaw to cut pond ice while setting traps. It may be normal to you all up north but I'm from NC. I thought the dude was crazy
