The hunter, identified only by her first name, Melissa, shot the bear on October 23 near her home in Garrett County, according to an MDNR tweet posted October 25. “This Garrett Co. male bear is the largest bear ever harvested during Maryland black bear season and is a new state record,” MDNR reported. The previous record was a 615-pound Garrett County bear tagged in 2007.

The eastern US bears are every bit as big as your average size Alaska interior griz. Some of those eastern bears are right outside your neighborhood!!!

615 pounds... is that field dressed (guts-butthole-windpipe out) or is 615 a live weight?

I read the weight but will admit to being distracted by the "Fun Sized" girl.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Garrett county is western most county in Maryland. Mountainous beautiful country.
There was a big bear shot in fayette county pa a while back, i think it was high 600's also. I think fayette and garrett might share a border, if they don't they're not far apart. Lots of state land in fayette in the mountains, rugged and isolated for this area.

Fun sized ha!
I take that to be a clear sign that the nights get way to cold up there. The feed bill alone would have me nervous.
And what if that rolled over on a guy? Nothing fun about that!
