Rethink Camping in the Woods of Western Maryland



Nov. 8, 2007

BAGGING THIS GIANT BRUIN during Maryland's recent black-bear hunting season was 20-year-old Coty Jones from Dorchester County. The animal weighed a record 615 pounds and stood over eight feet tall. Coty, who stands 5'9" herself, shot the bear in the Swallow Falls area on the opening day of the season. She and her father, who had to rent a truck to transport the bear, stopped at Winner's Circle in Mountain Lake Park and purchased 40 bags of ice to preserve it. The Winner's Circle staff was so impressed that they gave her a discount on the ice, and also tossed in some free pizza and soda. "It's not every day that you get to see a bear that is that large," said Kim Hamilton, manager of Winner's Circle. Coty said that the bear is now in the hands of a taxidermist.
