Was that a broad-head that made that exit wound?

I have no idea what this bear weighed. This bear was not taken by me. these pics were forwarded to me by a friend. the pics were taken 2 a bear check station in Sussex Co. (Franklin, I believe off rt. 23).
It was also posted that the 2 largest bear checked in so far as of 12/09/2011 w
ere 776# and 829#! One from Jefferson and one from on or near Stokes.

Georgiaboy,That is not a broadhead hole. Only shotgun w/slugs or muzzleloaders are allowed to harvest bear in N.J.

I think it's a little of both!

The bear is freaking huge and that looks to be a Ford Ranger pickup.

All I know is that both of the bear I shot this year added to the one from last year and they would still come up short. Those things are the size of a VW.

There are some monsters walking around in NJ. I had one that was over 600 Lbs on my front lawn twice a week all fall. He would lay on my lawn and eat the acorns about 10 yards from my front door. I just wish NJ would let you hunt them wit a bow or xbow. Right now its only shotgun.

They said only 464 bear taken all week about 100 less than last year.Most were taken on the 1st day,but we had a couple days of bad weather.I think they wanted to take out 500 so they weren't far from their target. Largest bear was taken friday 829lbs

Yeah, Thats huge! I saw the article and pic in N.J. herald today (Sussex Co. edition). The one was 700 and change and the one you mentioned, the 829# er.I still dont know if these are the ones in the pics @ the check station that I posted the other day.Woulnt be surprised if there are even bigger ones out there.
