Hard to believe for sure, but I'd love to see a picture just the same.
I saw a bear track this year that blew my mind. It's hind track was bigger than my size thirteen boot, and we don't have grizzlies in Maine! I'm sure it wouldn't even be close to 1000 pounds, but I have to wonder what it would weigh.

When you guys go to Game Commission headquarters next month to testify about the deer thingy, take a look at the bear they have mounted there. It was shot illegally, I think in Lycoming County, and is quite impressive.
When you go to the link below, scroll down to see what they have to say about this bear. The whole article makes interesting reading.
