Spot on. The east in general produces bigger black than their western counterparts. Virginia should not be overlooked, either, especially with heavy weights, a large population and plenty of public land offered. Where bear records are concerned, VA, uses a points system based mainly on the size of the skull, not overall weight, for records.That said, VA. has produced some heavy blacks.
