I haven't been on here in a while so I figured i'd post this now. I finally harvested my first pa black bear this year with my inline. game commission estimated live weight at 481. I weighed it dressed on a registered cattle scale and it was 445. I thought/assumed when I gutted it that there was more than 36lbs of guts in it...

That's a beauty. Congratulations on a great PA trophy. I always go with the Game Commissions numbers because that's what's documented on the certificate. However, our check station has a digital scale. I saw a pic on HPA of scale being used that looked like it was from the 40's. Not sure how they calibrate that thing.
