Big Bear

[bryabbio]

This bear was taken in Bethe NY, by my bosses husband. It weighed in at 604 pounds and its sex is Female. THIS THING IS A GIANT!

Is that real? Geez that thing is huge!

[PREDATE]

Thought we were talking about malt liquor! lol

 Not sure what the record for NY is, but that thing might be close.

My boss sent me the picture this morning. I asked the same thing! I looked at it in the pic and nearly wet myself to think that, that thing was roaming the woods! She said that in the morning they were debating taking a quad into the woods, but in my opinion bringing the quad was a smart idea.

Yikes  That must be one tough ATV.  Nice bear would have made me jittery.

[Lawdwaz]

No way.

[bryabbio]

In my opinion that animal is just scary to see dead, imagining that thing living would scare the crap out of me!

[DROpTINE]

Record is close to 700 I believe. That bear is tremendous. Is it rigor mortis that set in or does the bear look a lil stiff?

i thought the same thing with rigor. I asked her but she has yet to answer me. As soon as I know more I will be sure to post it.

never seen a bear that stiff. suprised  the atv didn't tip up

 

[bryabbio]

from what she told me previously, when they wheeled him out they had to have people sit on the front in order to counter act the weight distribution.

Sorry................not buying this one at this time. I've killed several bears with bow and rifle and this just don't stack up for me. First thing is any bear weighing that much is rare exception. And for a female to grow that large is beyond what I can accept as possible. Second thing is, if that bear was anything like the others I have been around on the back of a 4 wheeler, they are big floppy ,  hang to the ground type animals. That thing there looks like it's taxidermy stuffed! Lastly, if you put a 600 pound bear on a 4 wheeler, there will be no room for anyone to drive it out, and it would be  squashed down pretty good, which does not appear to be happening in the picture.  Maybe it's real, but I doubt it.

Not real.

It looks real to me. If you click the pic and enlarge it you can see the ratchet strap around it's neck. That's what is holding the head up. You can also see the upper lip hanging down. The wheeler is squatting pretty good.

I am just the middle man here. I was no where near this hunt. I don't know if its 100% real or w.e. I also do not want to question the man who shot it and irritate the guy by bombarding him with questions. When she sent me the text  I had some questions about it but I thought I would simply just share the pic I relieved with the little information I got from her. But from the straps they have all over this animal the compression it makes, appears it is real.

Too big of a head for a female.

male/ female/ it, freshly harvested/ stuffed.  In my opinion regardless of sex that thing is a monster. I would be scared just to even see that thing.

@Biz- I am not sure about that. I have never been to their house or really ever talked to her on what she owns. When I am able to get into contact with her. Ill have to ask her. That will be one of the many questions I will have to ask her. I wont be at work for another week, but ill text her to find out the details about the harvest and the machinery used.

I want to know how they got it up on the quad.

I had the same thought. They'd need a block and tackle at a minimum.

[Hunter1]

If you look at the axles on the atv they look straight as well as the frame an wheels do there don't appear that much weight pushing them down to squat it

[PREDATE]

The drive(rear) axle of a quad are always straight. The springs/shocks are between the axle and the frame. There is usually a good 8 inches between the top of the tire and the wheel well/fender. This looks like the fender would be rubbing on the tire.

Hey, I think somebody needs to let the air outta that beast......AGAIN,lol

That looks like an old fashion "carpet stretcher" technique being applied there!

[Hunter1]

The rear tire aren't even bulged
