BY MATT LINDSEYNorth Country This WeekPOTSDAM — A Potsdam teenager harvested a bear so heavy that a tractor was needed to get it out of the woods.
Alexa Livernois, 18, shot the near 600-pound bear this weekend in southern St. Lawrence County, according to her father, Brian Livernois.
The massive animal weighed 557 alive and its dress weight was 466. Dress weight refers to the weight of an animal after being partially butchered, removing the internal organs.
This was the first bear she harvested, Livernois said of his daughter.
Alexa’s boyfriend Mat shot a 314 pound bear a couple weeks ago as well,
Livernois, a taxidermist, will turn the bear into a rug for his daughter.
“It’s great for her, it doesn’t cost her anything,” the proud dad joked.
The meat was donated to a local butcher for distribution.
A muzzleloader was used to take the animal, Livernois said.
