Hunter Bags 772-pound Black Bear in Lackawanna County Pennsylvania

Today marked the third day of rifle season for hunters looking to bag a bear this season.

One hunter in Lackawanna County got his this week... a black bear weighing almost 800 pounds.

"I couldn't believe how big it was. It's big," Daniel Beavers of Covington Township said.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission estimates the male black bear weighed 772 pounds.





So far it's the largest bear taken in Pennsylvania this season, and it was shot near Daleville in Lackawanna County. POSTED 6:50 PM, NOVEMBER 26, 2013.
