There aren't a whole lot of details on the hunt for this massive bear as of yet, but 11 Alive News reports the bruin was shot by Tim Watson near Mountain City in Rabun County.

Obviously it's too early for a skull measurement to be in, but considering it is the heaviest bear ever shot in the Peach State, it's likely to be at or at the very least, near the top of the record book. Bears don't usually get that big.
