We estimated him at 550 to 600. PA is known for it's large bears... We gave up on feeding deer corn because all we ended up feeding were the bears til they went to bed for the winter...
Like this fat fellow eating corn:
He would show up every night and literally lay there shoving his mouth full of corn. Add that plus the cost of corn these days and the deer feeding came to an end. I had to hang the bird feeders from a wire that is pulled up by a winch 15 feet off the ground so I could feed the birds. Otherwise the beers just demolished them.
I have had $200 worth of bird feeders, $400 worth of deer feeders, $600 worth of game cameras, an ATV seat and I can't remember all the other stuff destroyed by black bears...
Some of his buddies...
