How would you guys like to have something like this in your sights this bear season. This is a pic taken in Luzerne county PA near Mt. Top. What a brute.

We grow them pretty big here. There was another bear in the same county that was killed illegally this week weighing 650 lbs. See the post in the northeast section.

Yeah for sure Dave. He looks to be in the 700-800 lb class. And a giant melon too. Definitely record class. What an awesome black bear.
I would surely like to put the bead of my .58 behind that guys shoulder.
