HAS ANYONE HERE HARVESTED A NEW JERSEY BEAR OR PASSED ONE UP DURING THE SHOTGUN BEAR HUNT? IF SO HOW BIG WAS YOUR BEAR OR THE ONE YOU PASSED UP?

I GOT ONE ON THE LAST DAY OF THE HUNT DRESS WEIGHT 144lb.

DURING THE BOW SEASON I SAW MANY BEARS, HAD TWO DIFFERENT BEARS UNDER MY STAND IN THE 200lb. RANGE. THE ONE I HARVESTED MY FRIENDS AND I NEVER SAW DURING THE BOW SEASON, IT HAD TWO METAL EAR TAGS. AS FAR AS WE KNOW WE SAW LAST WEEK, THREE DIFFERENT SET OF TRACKS IN THE AREA WE HUNT LARGE TRACK WITH SMALL ONE NEXT TO IT (SOW AND HER CUB), AND A SET OF TRACKS ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE BEAR I GOT FEW HUNDRED YARDS AWAY. WE HAVE A BEAR ON CAM-TRACKER TAKEN IN EARLY SEPTEMBER THAT ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE BEAR I GOT, BUT NO TAGS.
