Saw the local news tonight reported a 600+ pound bear hit and killed by a semi in Monticello, FL (just East of Tallahassee). That's one big bear. Closest one in FL was 645 killed in '45.
Ive got some trail cam pics of some that are probably getting close to that size. If we keep getting bear vs. car collisions maybe the FWC will wise up and open a limited season on them. They at least have to get their fear of humans back.
