fisherguy Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Actually if you look at #'s pensylvania has the heaviest bears by far. Each year they have some from 600 to nearly 850 pounds. If you look at the number harvested, the proportion of true brutes in pensylcania is astonishing. By skull size northern Manitoba, alberta, sask. and Coastal areas of alaska and BC take the prize.

camelNS Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Re: Huge black bears I believe the heaviest black bear on record comes from New Brunswick Canada.900+.lbs,dressed i believe.As for high numbers of really large black bears i have heard that Pennsylvania,Michigan,NC,Wisconsin all take large bears yearly.But i can just imagine some of the huge bears that have been shot and not weighed or really spoken of after the hunter gets it home.I'm sure there are many over 600-700.lbs.Thats HUGE!!!
