Looks like a mascot costume for a sports team with the strange shape! He did not carry his weight very well :lol:


Hog of a bear for sure I'm with PLB though why not gutted yet?

I was kind of questioning that too, article said field dressed 662 but the bear sure doesn't look gutted in the photo. Who knows for sure :? but big either way.

Ok so if you click on the photo to see a larger version it said the bear weighed 800lbs and 640 filed dressed. :shock:
Don't know why one says 640 and the other said 662 on the same blog but whatever.
