    I tried to look it up and could only find a bear that was killed by a bow hunter. I sure to not want to meet a 700 lbs bear in Pace, FL coming into my back yard.

    A group of hunters have set a world record for the largest bow-harvested black bear in North America, with a bear killed in New Jersey, according to a hunting organization.

    The Pope and Young Club, a bow hunting and conservation organization, announced that Jeff Melillo set the record with a bear they hunted on Oct. 14 in Morris County.

    The biggest wild American black bear ever recorded was a male from New Brunswick, shot in November 1972, that weighed 409 kg (902 lb) after it had been dressed, meaning it weighed an estimated 500 kg (1,100 lb) in life and measured 2.41 m (7.9 ft) long.

    Not a 300BLK . . ?? . . . WELL GOLLY !! --- SAWMAN

    Maybe we are talking about different bears or it was really a gun and not a bow. That was all I find was that it was a bow.

    Ursus urbinus: 'elderly' 400lb bear spotted roaming Los Angeles suburb

    Authorities tranquillized the animal and took her to a forest, but it’s not uncommon for wildlife to wander into neighborhoods

    A big, old bear wandered a Los Angeles foothill suburb Friday, drawing curious onlookers and news media before wildlife authorities removed it.

    The bear sluggishly ambled along streets and into backyards in Monrovia, which sits at the foot of the San Gabriel mountains.

    The Monrovia police department said officers kept watch and called state Department of Fish and Wildlife workers to the neighborhood. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/21/los-angeles-bear-monrovia-wildlife
