A 700-pound black bear killed by bow on private land in Morris County, N.J., has set a world record for North American black bear, besting the mark set in 1993, according to a national organization.

The bear’s size didn’t surprise at least one hunting advocate who said the high weight is the result of state restrictions on hunting that allow bears to multiply and get dangerously big. ---SNIP--- Melillo told Pope & Young that he had read an article in Outdoor Life magazine stating that a world record black bear would likely come some day from New Jersey.

Have you ever been to NJ? And I’m not talking about driving on the turnpike?

Don’t be telling fairy tales out of school.

These big fat bears couldn't run if their ass was on fire. I've seen them shot in the ass with a rubber bullet. They walk a little faster after a bellow. You don't understand how big these fat bastards are.

She’s got a really obnoxious accent, doesn’t she?

“Whaaye ar yoo eeeatiann maahy kaoi-yiaock? It’s maaade oout of pliastiaoc, it dozzent even tyaaste gioooad!”

I found myself cheering for the bear to take her out, wow what a dumb obnoxious whiney screecher.

Just goes to show, Democrats should stay in their little urban safe spaces.

Here’s a fun thread for your enjoyment.

Say, with enough Little Debbie donuts down the hatch, these bad boys could be turned into waddling sluggards. :)

Used to hunt woodchucks with a 22 hornet, Winchester 43.

I inherited one of those rifles. My Dad bought one just before I was born, saying he knew he would never get to buy another rifle later. He was right.

That black bear has a very concave face — makes it look like a grizzly.

New nickname for the Bear; Bobby Bacala...

I didn't know who Bobby Badala was and never saw the movie, so I Googled the name. I came up with Steve Schirripa.
I know him ONLY from BLUE BLOODS.
