Thanks! Mine was 172 pounds and great eating too! We have sooooo many bears here in NJ. It took so much to get the bear hunt reinstated after it was closed for like 30+ years. Now that the 5 year management plan is coming to an end I am really hoping they reevaluate it and extend the season. Currently it is only concurrent with our 6 day firearm season in the first week of december. I would love to see them allow us to take them with a bow but I'm sure that will never happen. In 2010, the year I shot my bear, I saw 29 bears during bow season in october and november!
