Recently during our black bear hunt here in Western Md a young lady from down east shot a bear that weighed 614 lbs and stood over 8 ft tall. At 6'4" I could barley touch the nose of a bear that is eight feet tall. Our DNR have tag a bear that weighs over 700lbs. It lives in the area behind my place and comes in to raid my bird feeders. It reached a feeder that was nine feet in the air.

jspike1,Here a few years ago,we had a bear killed near where i live and it had a Md tag in its ear that went 600 lbs.The world record was killed about 1-1/2 miles from where i live.These huge bears seem to be traveling a circle,through Garret county Md.into Somerset and Fayette County Pa.There was a sow with cubs hanging out behind my place and so far they haven't bothered anything.One of my friends had a huge boar hitting his bird feeders and had to quit putting seed out,they can be a nuisance.With the abundance of acorns on the ground,it should be a good year for big bears.
