Interesting....I thought bears that size were the norm in that area given what it costs to hunt them.

That is a lot of black bear.

Looks like live weight not field dressed weight.


But the article doesn't say.

They trapped and euthanized a bear in my neighborhood that weighed 740. The largest bear on record in this state . We saw him a few times . It was amazing .

What do you do with a bear that big besides render out the oil? Would it be fit for the table that large -- and old, obviously?
We need to have the Biebster weigh in here. They have even bigger ones in New Jersey, believe it or not.

Bears, like deer, love peanuts. Doubt he was feeding at a dump.

They should name that bear Fat Albert.

An elk guide I used in Wyoming owns a convenience store. He has the different stockers bring him all the expired pastries for their entire route. He makes some fat bears.

I eaten a couple of 500lb plus bears tasted just fine.

Heavy does not mean old. Just like some humans some bears get fat fast my 510lb bear aged at only 6 years old.
