Jack,
You wouldn't happen to have any links or info on that massive record size bear that was shot illegally last year would you??? I think it was shot with a crossbow?? I know WNEP 16 reported on it.
Why do PA bears get so big?
Genetics and grub....
Jack helped me out where to look.
This was a legal kill. The media put a anti hunting spin on this hunter when it was initially reported. (which is pathetic.)
Shot legally in Pike County Pennsylvania,
This is the potential #1 World Record Black Bear. The results should be in after the 60 days of letting the skull shrink. I am still looking for final verdict.
He had a field dressed weight of 744lbs and live weight of 879lbs
