Tell him they ran it with hounds and shot it out of a tree, it'll take a double-dose of Midol to cure the cramping and bloating. Right on the spot....brother

Tarkio, is there any chance that you could try to follow up on this over time and post the length of the hide and the skull score measurements? I'm curious as to how these heavy weight bears score. Call it a public service on your part! There is a disconnect between those who weigh bears and those who measure skulls and squared hides. We have no way of knowing how a 600 lb. bear compares to a 7 footer with a 21 inch skull. A big bear can add easily 100 lbs. or much more of weight between spring and Fall. It's kinda like: I got a whitetail with 4 inch long hooves. I will try to follow up on what the skull measures.

saw him this morning standing next to a old log cabin down the road. his back was even with the 4th log. I measured it and it was 40 inches. magnificent bear. kind of red. when I first saw him I thought he was a griz. the dogs woke us about 4 times last night and there was scat outside the garden gate.

BTW, Scott- Can you picture POW bears with 10 months to feed? Hint there for others. ^^^ This! ^^^ Not to say that the bear that started this thread isn't a dandy, especially for Montana. But I would like to see what one of the north coastal blacks with a hide pushing 8' would weigh if he lived by corn fields all summer. Chances are pretty good that he probably wouldn't be a "north coastal black". lol
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

That bear is incredible. Can't believe how fat he is.

We Montanans are not skeered of a little blood. That bear is a toad. Tarkio, do you know if that bear was shot in the Pryor Mtns? I used to hunt bear in the Pryors, never saw anything close to that size.

WOW! Huge bear, especially for any bear away from the coast. Thanks for posting the follow-up!

I used to hunt bear in the Pryors, never saw anything close to that size. This wasn't taken in the Pryors. This bear was shot in the valley out between Huntley and Worden. The bear came out of the corn that they were cutting. We can see the Pryors from here. I suppose they would be about 50-60 miles as the crow flies.

It's obvious to any experienced hunter that is not a true black bear but a bear/Squatch cross-

Gary Alt, then the bear biologist in Pa., told me of a bear that they trapped in the spring, that weighed almost 900lbs....coming out of hibernation.... Which puts it over 1k going into hibernation.
He also said his skull was probably a world record.
He also said he doubted anyone would kill it due to where it lived and how smart it probably was.
To my knowledge, it was never taken.
Bear lived in the bowels of a huge swamp in Pike county Pa.
