They get huge in WI where I'm from also.  In WI you have to bring them out whole to register them.  I helped my cousin haul out a 440 lb monster out of an alder swamp.  That was NOT easy.

Same in New England

Yeah, and that goes for Moose too!

My nephew shot a moose last year in an alder swamp and had to drag it out with rope and pulleys.  They loaded into the truck with a winch. Crazy that you can't just quarter them and pack 'em out.

Suprised he didn't get a ticket for not marking an " OVERSIZED LOAD " on a vehicle....

You are allowed to eviscerate a moose in both ME and NH to bring it out of the woods.

Question:  Are our Black Bears on the North West specifically our coastal bears bigger in average and record than the North East??
