So today I moved my full size bear mount into the my den... This is not the bear I shot last year, it is one I shot several years ago in Pa.. Dressed out at 285lbs and estimated live weight was 340lbs... Heres a few pics. I had taxidermist mount him with mouth partially open as if panting to give mount color.. Not an aggressive appearance as they are not grizzilies..

Thank's guy's... Last years is just going to be a shoulder mount as his fur was very thin on the hind quarters... Guess from being 12 years old...
 
That is a nice sized bear assuming it's from North East as out my way that's pretty uncommon. I only someday hope to harvest a Pa bear been trying for 15 years now and part of many but never pulled the trigger on one. That's quite some horn porn as well those out of state?

Pa Bandit ,the pictured bear is a actually a Pa bear... It was shot in Pike county.. Also Western Pa has alot of big bears... Warren and Westmoreland to name two counties..
Ill point you to a good area in Westmoreland County. Check out the Twin Echo area by New Florence, should be back end of State Game lands # 42.. Find the acorns.. You want a big bear come hunt N.J. in Oct. If we have a season.. Ill put you on bears.. Those deer are mostly Illinois bucks..
