Plenty of food and not too many folks chasing him, what a bruinser!

That bear's been raiding human, dog, and bird food to get that fat!
Interesting how he tricked the bear into thinking he left and snuck back into the stand.

Brother had one on camera this fall (once) that's probably between 400-500 lbs. I thought that was big but this one in the OP is amazing.

The woods where this guy lived is rich with bear food. Nuts, berries and he obviously liked corn.
In WI you either hunt with bait or dogs or you don't see/get a bear. I've actually used a similar tactic, use 4-wheeler to bait, bang the 5 gallon buckets a bit, putt putt away....sneak back. Still not easy to fool Mr. Bruin...

That bear is so fat I wonder if he could effectively forage for natural food anymore?!!! 
Laying around gorging in a cornfield all day makes more sense.
Or he just cleaned out a campground of weekend warriors!
