Sedalia Dave Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Wisconsin girl, 11, harvests black bear weighing over 700 pounds, is hoping to take state record An 11-year-old girl in Wisconsin may have just set the record for the largest black bear ever harvested in the state. Naiya Iraci, 11, hadn’t ever even seen a black bear before Sept. 9, let alone shot one. But on that day – the first day of Wisconsin’s bear season – she spotted a massive black bear while hunting with her grandfather Michael Frank, and “dropped [the bear] with one shot,” her grandfather said. “Proud to say my hunting partner, Naiya… took a #718.5 Black bear yesterday evening,” he wrote the next day on Facebook.

Pat Riot Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Wow! That’s a big black bear. She looks so small compared to that bear. Of course camera angle plays a part. Regardless, that’s a big bear! good for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it she doesn't need a rifle or a bow, she can just "cute them to death". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 North Carolina’s coastal black bears average 50-100 lbs or more than their cousins. The current World Record black bear is an 880 lb. giant from Eastern North Carolina recorded in 1998. There have been more than a dozen bears over 700lbs recorded and dozens more over 600lbs harvested in the coastal region of North Carolina. I'll bet that girl's bear sets a state record.
