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.
“I wasn’t even going to go hunting. First drive of the morning he just came right out to me and I shot him,” Beavers said.
Beavers said the skull of the bear will be measured to see if it breaks a world record.
