Actually, world record status of bears is determined by skull measurements, not weight. The official world record was found in Utah. One was found last year in Wisconsin that was just 5/16" smaller. I believe the state with the greatest amount of very heavy bears is Pennsylvania, with several over 800lbs harvested every year.
