Osky trapper O Joined: Dec 2013 Northern MN	Originally Posted by River Birch Eric have you heard rumors or truth to a 900 lb live weight bear killed near you? Now those pics I’d like to see. I know those eastern hills and mountains seem to have a great gene going for size, but a black in that weight range is remarkable. I’ve been fortunate enough to hunt in an area where true 500lbrs can be taken and we did quite a bit better than that but nearly double the size of a 500lbr? I’d love to see it, I hope it happened!
