Don't think we forgot about New York's other big game - the black bear! Although not quite as abundant as our whitetail deer, New York has a growing population of black bear. Here's a few from the Adirondacks:


Jeff Allen killed his first Adirondack black bear this season while still-hunting a beechnut covered ridge in the Southern Adirondacks.


This monster black bear was taken on October 3rd in Hamilton County. The photo was taken at the Adirondack Hotel in Long Lake, New York. This monster bear weighed in at 503 pounds! Imagine taking a bear that big with your bow!
