I saw 3 bear over 800 lb come out of the Dismal Swamp

in N.C. a few years back when I was there for a hunt. Two were a bit over 800 and the 3rd was just under 800. I got there just as a hurricane made land fall and ruined my hunt but the guys that got them were a couple of days ahead of me. Here are some of the big bears out of that area. All around or over 600 lbs.One of the Misfits, Geoffrey Lee is in one of the pics. A hint, he is not the old lady measuring her bear's pecker.

I have never taken a really large bear. The biggest I have taken was a bit over 450 lbs.
