Title: Potential #2 World Record Black Bear taken in Pa
Post by: etboxcalls on November 19, 2010, 06:37:38 PM: Got this picture in numerous emails & text messages today. Don't know the story behind the hunt other than it was shot yesterday 11/18. Enjoy the picture and just imagine the holy sh*t feeling you'd get if this guy walked up on you in the woods.

"Shot yesterday in Monroe County with a crossbow.

875 Live weight and 744 dressed #2 in the WORLD and a new PA State Record. He missed the world record by 4 pounds......"

I understand Dylan . Sometimes hunting alone and being pressed for time just won't allow a feller to shoot just any bear . ROTFLMBO

Post by: etboxcalls on November 27, 2010, 09:38:55 PM: So guys, it turns out that this bear, although not killed illegally, was what one might call a "neighborhood bear." Apparently a guy has been feeding this bear for almost 17 years near his home. A couple of guys knew about the location of the bear, apparently got it up and moving and put 9 bolts in it from a crossbow. There was a story on the news last week. like I said, technically, it wasn't killed illegally, but the ethics of the kill are what are being questioned. Either way, it was a wild bear, its the #2 black bear in the world, and someone killed a dandy. Just thought I share what I found out about the story, if anyone knows anything else, please fill us in. Thanks
