I know what you mean. The area I hunt harvests 500-600 lb boars every year and we have had three taken here last year that scaled out at over 800 lbs. Pa is one of the sleeper states for huge bear. However, that doesn't mean I'm going to pass up a 300 pounder with a beautiful coat just for a slim chance I may see a bigger one. Like they say, the brass ring comes around once...the smart ones grab it.
