Big bear shot in Maine..
About a week and a half ago a big bear was shot up this way. It had to be quartered up to be brought out. When put on the scales it went 605 lbs. This was not a bear that hung around a dumpster but was up in the woods about 50 miles from nowhere. The bear went to bait and the guys dogs picked up the trail. After running it for a few miles the bear went to the water.(This has happened to another guide before and chase ended.) They went into the water and found the bear with only it's head sticking up out of it. Chase again went on and when the bear hit the land that's when they shot it. After trying to drag it for about an hour they sent a call out to the warden service who told them they could cut it up enough to carry it out. They skinned it out and quartered it to bring it out. Now a few deer and moose will be thankfullthis one is off their backs...
