Big North Carolina Bear

[Curtis Pittman]

Yesterday was the opener for the North Carolina bear season. This bear was killed about 100 miles from my home and weighed in at 760 pounds!

That's a big bear! Congrats!

That is a huge bear!!! He's been eating good.

That would be one heck of a critter to haul out from a deep, nasty canyon... Hopefully they could just drive the ol' pickup (and front end loader) over to him...

Are soybeans why they get so big there? Must be something for 'em...

 

[Curtis Pittman]

I didn't kill him but thought some of you might be interested in seeing him. He is a great bear! The world record Black Bear weighing 880 pounds was killed about 40 miles from my home 11 years ago.

The bear here have access to plenty of corn, wheat and soybeans. They are also famous for raiding dead holes and dumpsters at area poultry and hog farms.

Thanks for posting the picture, Curtis!!

There are some big bear in NC and I really hope to hunt them one day. I just have no idea about any quality/reputable bear outfitters in NC.

Very nice looking bear!

That is an awesome bear. Wow, most guys would be happy to kill a grizzly that size. I know I saw some really big bears on the Camp Lejeune Ranges while training. Don't think I ever saw something that size, but they do get pretty big. Scotty

Very, Very nice bear, I am so happy for you and your face shows that is true. Good job, what rifle and cartridge as well as bullet did you take that bear if you don't mind me asking.

That is a monster. A friend of mine took one 2 years ago...just under 600lbs. With his thompson contender pistol in 45-70. Full size standing mount. Quite impressive.

Congrats buddy!

I did not kill the bear guys! Here is the link to the outfitter responsible for this hunt. He is in the Northeastern portion of North Carolina near Creswell. They probably have the highest density of bears in the state.

The owners name is Mike Noles

My favourite animal to hunt. He is a bruiser, to be certain.

What a hog! Big bear, you must have some good genetics and a lot of feed to grow big bears like that. He is world class for sure.
