Big difference in interior brown bear and coastal. The interior bear may only go 5-600 lbs even for a big one. A coastal brownie may go 800 or so and a very exceptional Kodiak or ABC bear might go 800-1,000 lbs. Most bear are not weighed so part of of the discrepancy in reported weights.
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
