Either bigger gun or have a hunting partner that's a little slower than you are...HT

I can't imagine the nerves it takes to hunt a beast like that. I would be shaking like a leaf.

The Bear story..

These two hunters (I don't recall their names) are actually under 4 feet tall. I believe 3'5" and 3'4".

This is their biggest bear so far. It weighed in at 220 lbs.

They hunt elk too but seldom post the photos since it would become apparent that they were small people.

It is a little frustrating when photos get posted with no story. Sure one photo is worth 1000 or so words but a few facts are often missing.

Then again one of my grandfathers and his uncle made a film that included shooting a grizzly bear. In the film they claimed the bear was 800lbs

.
I think they were confused with the conversion from Kilograms to pounds or... the were telling tall tales.

Alright Hunters I did a little research on my past e-mails and it stated it came from Tumbler Ridge B.C.. I then googled tumbler ridge and found the same pictures, some say there recent and others say they have been around for several years. I also read a blog that Boone and Crocket has pictures of this Bear and are also looking for some info on when where and how it was harvested. Sorry I dont know more, good luck with your search.

It would be more fun to see who could make up the best story.

Where in the heck did you come up with this story, Those are not little people. If you look at the pics it's seems obvious that they are normal sized guys, with one big bear.

Holy Bear Claw

jacobp · 12-03-2008, 12:29 PM

That kind of bear hunting does NOT look like much fun. I would need to pack around a lot of spare underwear.

nevermiss · 12-03-2008, 12:38 PM

BIG s.o.b.! Wonder what that thing weighed? At least 750 and likely more. Way to go!!

sooslaw · 12-03-2008, 12:58 PM

i always thought i would want to hunt them....but i changed my mind. those are prehistoric dinosaur bears and i dont want anything to do with them.... what a monster !

Willis · 12-03-2008, 01:23 PM

I would be worried that his big brother may be close....I would not even enter the forest with less than a 30 round clip.

Just remember to save one round!!! Most important!!!!

Imagine staring at that thing and holding a 38 special.

StevenB · 12-03-2008, 07:55 PM

Say... I was being obsurd in the earlier post.

Those are regular size hunters beside a bear I'd hope they made sure was dead. Very Dead.

That is big game hunting for any size person. WHat a bear. It mAkes me glad to hunt in a brown bear free state.
