He is bear-ing the weight of his actions.
A New Jersey bow hunter who killed a 770-pound black bear this week, setting a state record, is getting pounced on for slaughtering the creature.
Brian Melvin, 39, told The Post on Saturday that people have found him on social media and even tracked down his phone number to express their hatred.
“I have received various messages and calls telling me how bad of a person I am and that they hope the next bear kills me,” he said.

“They hope another hunter mistakes me as a bear and shoots me. And people telling me they are going to string me up and gut me like the bear.”
Melvin, a licensed hunter who legally killed the animal on Tuesday in Kinnelon in Morris County, has gotten slammed on X, with users calling him a “coward and a loser,” “a waste of human space” and a “worthless piece of s–t.”
