From another forum. Westfield this September. Dressed 458 lbs. Live weight estimate (using 10% rule for big bears) ~ 500 - 510. Bow.  And this also from Westfield this June, on the aptly-named Honey Pot Road: |

Those are both some big bears  Funny thing is...I've been told  bears (sows) in the northeast average only around the 150lbs and maybe...maybe 200lbs. Any sow over 200lb would be a northeast record. So that means the sow in video must be photo shopped ;D ;D ;D Thanks for sharing For the record (as I’m sure you know), I’m not being a sarcastic towards you or your post bud. It more about the past information I was told about that huge sow we watch live and through my spotting scope while scouting in south central VT |

I don't believe you and I'm very offended! Sniff... 
I'm one of those Massachusetts New-Age, Tree-Hugging, PETA-supporting, 2nd Amendment trashing, Save The Whales yelling Pinko Commies and you hurt my feelings... ;D
She's a big girl and that boar's going to be a piece of work in a few years, by the looks of him.

That is a HUGE bear! Congrats to the hunter. Both bears in the video are very large black bears. People often misjudge bear sizes, and I'm no expert by any means but I believe the average bear taken in NH is between 125 and 175 lbs. People throw around the "300 lb bear" size without realizing just how huge a 300 pounder is. Heck, a 200lb bear is a very large animal. Some sows just never get larger than 150 to 180 or so. Cub rearing and hibernation really take it's toll on weight when all you eat is clover and acorns LOL. Just like bird feeders and garbage cans produce the 35lb coons...corn fields and bait stations make for the largest bears.
