673-Pound Black Bear May Be New Georgia State Record

This massive bruin may be new state record in Georgia.

Georgia's bear hunters are already seeing success. But one bruin in particular is standing out.

It's one that Wildlife Resources Division officials have already confirmed is the heaviest ever taken in Georgia at a whopping 673 pounds!

This is one big bear. It fills up the back of this pickup truck with ease!

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.
