Some big bears will be out Monday
SKYTOP - There are
some mighty big bears
roaming around in nor
theastern Pennsylvania, and
if any of them are harvested
during the November 24 bear
hunting season, all previous
records will be broken.
Game Commission per
sonnel recently handled the
biggest bear ever recorded
in the state, but there’s at
least one more that is even
larger.
The bear caught recently
was making a nuisance of
himself by upsetting gar
bage cans. Game Com
mission personnel trapped
the bruin, and found it had
been previously trapped, in
1975, in the Promised Land
area of Pike County.
At that tune, the bear
weighed 368 pounds It was
trapped and marked in a
routine research operation.
In some Game Com
mission bear research, ef
forts are made to chart the
course and movement of
bears, but no special
significance was attached to
this particular bear at that
time. But that wasn’t the last
of the brum.

In the spring of 1977, the
bear was again trapped near
Skytop, Monroe County. At
that tune, he was tipping
over garbage dumpsters in
the area, so he was moved
and released in the Kellogg
Mountain area of Bradford
County.
Bear weights are usually
near their low mark in the
spring of the year, and in the
spring of 1977 the bear
weighed 519 pounds.
The bruin obviously
returned to his home area
from Bradford County, and
was caught again by Game
Commission personnel in
response to complaints
about his habit of rum
maging around in
Lackawanna County gar
bage.
When caught this year, the
10-year-old bear weighed 650
pounds, the largest bear
weight ever recorded in
Pennsylvania. He had a
chest girth, when caught, of
64 inches.
This time, a radio was
attached to the brum, and

After being trapped
recently, the brum took off
for another county, and soon
hooked up with another bear

even bigger. And Game
