As a longtime bear hunter/guide here in New Hampshire I can tell you that is a very big black bear. The best way to size a bear is to look at the ears. Small ears that are set low and wide apart on the bears skull denote a big bear. This guy has very small ears and the are set low and wide apart on his skull. He is all of 400 Lbs. Edgar, is there a bear season in Connecticut?

That is a shame. With mild winters and no hunting season you must have a robust bear population. And I would guess many large bears as the one you posted. I do not imagine that they need to den for very long if at all. We have such a large bear population that starting this fall we can take two bears. It’s unreal. And we can still hunt, hound hunt and hunt over bait. Live free or die.
