I forgot to add that Georgia,Tennessee & North & South Carolina share the same bear populations.So a bear can actually walk across the state lines and be in different states and not know it.North carolina had a 800# bear for there record if iam not mistaken.Our record is close to 580# so thats a nice blackbear in anyones book!The record skull is something like 21-13/16 or something like that so thats a whooper as well!Fellow never knows what he might see.Its every year a wild hog is harvested that is 400-500# range and iam talking black russian boar.We have had russian boar for years and years that escaped from clubs that were brought in just for hunting.Good Luck and come vist my state it has bunches of oppertunites to have a great hunt!
