Hunters keep Duluth area bear-meat processor busy

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - John Chalstrom peered into the bed of Don Bloom's pickup Thursday evening to look at the bear. Bloom, a Duluth bow hunter, had taken it just a couple of hours earlier.It was a warm, muggy evening at Chalstrom's Bait & Tackle north of Duluth. Bloom had brought his bear to be registered - and weighed."I'd guess 270," Chalstrom offered, guessing the bear's field-dressed weight.Bloom estimated a more conservative 240 pounds.But on the big scale in front of the store, the boar weighed in at a chunky 326 pounds.
