I would love to see more pics of this, I can't imagine what a 760lb bear alive looks like.
This is 760 dressed. Don't know how much the guts would weigh?

760 lbs dressed, so take the fat and the bones out of it and he probably ended up with 60 lbs of useable meat that will probably be about as tasty as chewing on a old leather shoe lol of course i know those numbers are incorrect, just makeing a play at how much fat a old bear like that would have, figure i would explain that now instead of in another post later after 50 people correct me... good.. ok lol

Hahaha. Good idea with the explanation. But really these big guys carry alot of fat. I took a bruiser when I was 17 that dressed out at 400lbs. He had five inches of fat all the way up his back. It would be safe to assume this guys packing much more.
How is it one careless cigarette can cause a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to light a campfire?

especially this year, the little bear i took this year (115 dressed) had alot more fat on him, than bears i have taken the previous 2 years (around 140 dressed), which leads me to believe they are preparing for a long winter... the hide and the fat accounted for almost 50 % of the dressed weight, it was 60 lbs after removing the hide and fat...

Funny how the use of the word "harvested" is used in the broadcast. As if hunters really speak like that lol. Oh well...
It must be a freak of genetics bear, but I still don't get how it could get that big without having an almost unlimited food source.
Not that it matters.
Cheers
