That's a BIG old boar. He's likely up and around because..........judging from his pudge.......he never went down. The only bears that have to hibernate are pregnant sows. From the looks of him, he's been eating and eating WELL all winter.

And he is WAY north of 500 pounds. Closer 700, IMHO.

Get ahold of Jeff Rines and Question his story

I knew in posting the clip "Someone" would have to ask.....Justtrying to Show a Pig of a Bear and that's
What I did ...correctly giving known credit to the video taker.

He's not worried. They can't hunt bear in CT.
They are trying to get one for years. Good luck.
