I see bears every year that weigh well over 1000 pounds and have killed some that I know weighed lose to 1500 pounds. My son has flown for the federal polar bear studies for the past 7-8 years and they have scales on the helicopter to actually weigh the bears. They also have weighed bears between 1400 & 1500 and my son claims the biggest bears we take are every bit as large.
We did kill one good sized boar in the fall that had been weighed by F&G that spring at the den . 982 pounds and after a spring and summer of eating they easily gain 300-400 pounds. And that one was nowhere near the largest
