Bears are basically vegetarians and opportunist when it comes to meat. Some will catch live stuff but probably not very frequently. A bear that big is a really big bear. I find it amazing that all these bears make it to scales. Come hunt in Arizona, we are lucky to get ost of the boned meat out!

Apparently not.I wonder how many here have even seen a Bear over 300 Pounds.My guess is not many. I've seen lots of them, but then I'm only about 10 miles from where the 800 lb bear was killed One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

Frank Dobie, his biographer, said he seriously doubted people that said Lilly killed over a thousand bears and mountain lions. More like 950. --- CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE --- A Magic Time To Be An Illegal In America---

I think Dolly's brother Casey still got the big one out in North Carolina several years ago--890 or something ridiculus like that.

Where there are bears they are one of the major predators of fawns. They will work bak and forth in fields in a grid pattern to find new born fawns.

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. One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

Everyday Hunter Campfire Tracker Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 5,279 Northwest Pennsylvania	Brandon �Big Red� Barnes put the killing shot into the skull of this 780-pound Washington County bear � believed to be the second-heaviest ever killed in North Carolina. With that body size, it probably would have a big enough skull to make the record book -- if the bullet didn't shatter it. Steve.

Some will catch live stuff but probably not very often It's pretty well documented in WI about the fawns...bears eat A LOT of fawns. Bears don't to be 780 pounds by eating salad and garbage can contents. Camp is where you make it.
