772 Pound Bear

last Saturday was the last day of the weeklong bear season in Charlotte County Virginia , a fellow about six miles from me killed a 728 pound black bear , if you want to see the story look up the\website for WSET channel 13 news in Lynchburg Virginia , he had over a 55 gallon drum of fat on him. It took five men and a tractor to get him out of the woods, there are some VERY big bears here! .......................LOUD

"We have several 400-500 lb black bear on the farm I hunt down here. It's getting very common to see them down here."

Yes & they should have a lotto for tags in certain counties ;)

The 800 lb bear killed in NC a few years ago had been supplementing its food by living on a hog farm and getting into some of the hog feed IIRC

Heaviest bear i ever heard of was killed in Craven county, North Carolina. It weighed 880 pounds.

That bear was killed just a few miles from my home

The heaviest black bear reliably weighed was an 880-pound 10-year-old male killed in Craven County,

He had been raiding the shed where they kept dead hogs to be sent to a rendering plant

I've seen a couple that would probably go over 500 lbs

About getting that monster out of the woods.
I have dragged logs with my ATV (Honda 420 4x4) that I would estimate at #1000. I would think that if you properly tied that bear on the quad would be able to drag it out the same way. Might be a problem if you have to drag uphill rather than flat or down. I think the problem would be getting it onto a truck unless you quarter or have a lift of some sort. Im hoping to have some first hand experience with the problem one day.
