New Jersey has a new record black bear, but the hunter wasn’t out looking for big bruins.

According to the (Parsippany, N.J.) Daily Record, Bruce Headley, 62, of Milton, N.J., shot the the 829-pound live weight bruin while deer hunting in the woods about a half-mile from a nearby high school.

Lot of difference between a deer and a black bear. Sure hope he had the proper permits and it was season. Otherwise Big Fines.
