Record black bear of 2012.
 

Hi all here is a picture of Maine's Record black bear of 2012.. A whooping 699 lbs and it was mounted...

Nice bear. I always wanted to hunt either ME or NH for bear. I've taken several from the west but never in New England. Maybe next year after I retire.

If you do happen up this way bear hunting.. Good Luck to you.. I hope you get one as I am thinking a lot of bears gets shot here.. However right now it is under attack again by the antis.. I hope they do not get their way..

Almost looks like Yogi Bear with a big hind end and smaller chest.

wow huge bear. really nice

Nice bear. What did you use for a weapon?

I am not sure what the guy used as I never shot it.. I just posted a picture of the mount that has come out of it up here. Last year another big bear came close to this record as well. While I can not say for sure I am thinking it was up around 680 + pounds.

Oh ok. We have a few big ones in Colorado, but nothing like that.

At least I wouldn't want to run into one with a muzzleloader with nothing but a knife as backup.

nice big bear, every year here in NJ bears of this size of bigger are taken

Nice bear.

I am headed up there in a few months for a bear hunt. I was told to expect to see bear in the 150# 200# range. A huge bear would be awesome.

Amazing Beat. I like the shot of bear.

think the guy who shot that was a vet and it was his first bear ever, and the first he saw on the hunt. pretty cool story. i have a bear hunt booked for September as well. i cant wait!

Good Luck on getting a bear this fall!!

thank you. i feel like i have a good chance. going to be in allagash. hear there is some nice bears in that area

I have been involved with dragging two bear out of the woods. One was around 150lbs and the other 400lbs. Let me tell ya, dragging out a 700lb bear would be a nightmare. :D
Oh, I would find a way, but it would suck the whole time. :D
