Back in the '80s and '90s, when I followed hound hunting closely, 500 lb. bears were not terribly uncommoon. Not everyday occurances, but not really rare. Nowadays, not so much. Those are two beasts!

They kill some whoppers in the eastern part of NC.

I used to know a bear guide from Michigan that went down there every year. He said the bears got so big from eating peanuts on the farms. I know they killed a few over 500.

The biggest one I ever mounted was 580 dressed weight out of northern Wisconsin.
