Eastern North Carolina�s mix of agriculture and rural wilderness is a haven for one of the largest aggregations of black bears in the world � and some of the biggest, as evidenced by an enormous bear killed in Washington County on Dec. 14.
A group of die-hard bear hunters brought a whopping 780-pound bruiser to the scales that day, a boar that, while believed to be the second-heaviest bruin ever killed in North Carolina, remains more than 100 pounds shy of the state record � which is also the world record.
