That's not true. I took my bear to the weigh station completely gutted. I have never seen a large bruin weighed in still in tact. Who the he!! want's to lug an extra 150 lbs out of the woods anyway. It was hard enough dragging 420 lbs out of the woods as it is I don't need any more. The only thing I could think of is that the game commission tells you an estimated live weight and that is what people may be using. I spoke with an officer last year who said they had tug 3 boars with live weights over 900lbs. Of course they wouldn't tell me where
