Yes, Potter County

Massive black bear hit in Potter County

Black bears can be a common scene in the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania, but yesterday was a rare glimpse of just how large the animals can grow.

The calorie intake to hold bears that big is unbelievable. They gotta be mowing down crop like nobody’s business.

when they hit a corn field it looks like crop circles Ill get pic up of 30 to 50 yard patches completly mowed down the farmers hate em and when 5 or 10 bears are hitting the same fields it crazy

I'll bet that left a mark.. looks like an angus.

 

[elkrchr]

That is a giant bruin! I hope someone (the person who hit it or Fish and Game) was able to salvage the hide and skull for display purposes.

fish and game keep hides and sculls most of the time

I had lots of pics of bear damage in my corn fields but must of deleted them one year we had so much it wasnt worth harvesting one field

"the bear was permitted out to an individual for consumption".
