The following pictures are of a guy who works for the Forest Service in
Alaska. He was out deer hunting. A large grizzly bear charged him from
about 50 yards away. The guy unloaded his 7mm Mag Semi-automatic rifle
into the bear and it dropped a few feet from him. The big bear was still
alive so he reloaded and capped it in the head. The bear was over one
thousand six hundred pounds. It stood 12' 6" high at the shoulder, 14' to the
top of his head. It's the largest grizzly bear ever recorded in the world.
Of course, the game department did not let him keep it. It will be
mounted and put on display at the Anchorage airport (to remind tourist's of the
risks involved when in the wild).
Think about this - you would be level with the bear's belly button when
he stood upright, the bear would look you in the eye when it walked on all
fours! To give additional perspective, consider that this bear, standing
on its hind legs, could walk up to an average single story house and look
over the roof. The bear had killed at least two people. His last meal was
an unlucky nature buff who had been out hiking. The Forest Service
found the hiker's 38-caliber pistol emptied. Although the hiker fired six
shots and managed to hit the grizzly with four shots (they ultimately found
four 38 caliber slugs along with seven 7mm slugs inside the bear's dead body)
it only wounded the bear - and probably angered it.
The bear killed the hiker an estimated three days prior to the bear's own
death by the gun of the Forest Service worker.
Has anyone seen this !!
