Maine has a new bear record!!
 

Hi all, I just want to let those interested know that Maine now has a new Black Bear Record.. The record for black bear here is now standing at 699lbs. I will put a pic up when I get my desk top computer up and running again. No it was not me that shot it. But, it is a monster..

Was that the one that was shot by a guy from PA? I saw a picture. It was a beast.

he said from maine. I can't wait to see a picture, i love seeing huge bears from the NE!!!

Look forward to pics Phil.

I am not 100% sure where the guy was from. But, yes it surely is a beast. I wouldn't want to meet up with it without a gun. If I can borrow this computer tonight I will try and get the pic up. Other than that I prolly can't until mid next week.

The state of Maine allows people from Pennsylvania to hunt there :D

The guy was on a guided hunt in Maine but he lives in PA.

Big bear, that size is common here in NJ

and in your western neighboring state :D

The reason they get so big in PA is because we have a joke of a season. 3 days in late November with no dogs or bait.

Maine actually hunts their bears. For a bear to get that big with far more being shot is pretty amazing. That boy avoided a lot of hunters as he raided all those donut barrels :D He was probably 100% nocturnal until he got greedy that day.

You think PA is a joke try this one from NJ.....Bear season is the first full week of December which is our 6 day shotgun deer hunt

i read it wrong, lol sorry. I thought you were talking about the bear.
