Go Maine!
That's my home state. Make me proud to be from New England.

Some giant bears back in the northeast.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Damn Big Bear!

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Here's the full story:
http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/field-notes/2012/09/hunter-tags-699lb-record-bruin-maine
Almost seven hundred pounds of bruin is a lot of bear, and a new record for the state Maine.
From this story in the Bangor Daily News:
Guide Jim Webber knows he’s got a bunch of big black bears visiting his bait sites. In fact, he figures that of the 22 sites he’s maintaining this bear season, about 15 of them are being visited by bruins that weigh from 300 to 400 pounds. Two other sites, Webber said, are frequented by even bigger bears. How big? “Almost as big as that one,” he said, referring to bear that one of his hunters, Pennsylvanian Matt Knox, took on Friday. Or, as they’ll begin calling it as soon as the paperwork is completed, almost as big as Matt Knox’s state-record black bear.
According to the story, Knox, who had never before been bear hunting, shot the massive bear over a bait pile on Friday. The bear's 699lb. weight surpasses the old state record by almost twenty pounds.
Stay tuned for more details and photos of this amazing trophy!
I grew up in Northern Maine where Moose, White Tail, & Black Bear hunting is awesome. I spoke with my father the other night (all my family still lives there) and he said that there have been multiple stories of hunters that have shot some really big bears this year. Most of them were between 400 - 600lbs.

Crazy thing is that just the day before a different hunter in Maine shot a 680lb boar!

Wow! Gotta love those doughnut fed bears!

I've done a lot of hunting around Moosehead Lake and seen some dandy bears. What a pig that one is. I have to say the one thing I miss about moving out here are the incredible big whitetail bucks back there and the size of the black bears.

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.
