That's One Effin' Big Bear

This is a picture of a guy who works for the US Forest Service in Alaska and his trophy bear. Here's the story:

He was out deer hunting last week when 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 shot it several times in the head.

Not impressed? Check this out then:

The bear was just 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.

Based on the contents of the bears stomach, the Fish and Wildlife Commission established the bear had killed at least two humans in the past 72 hours. His last meal was an unlucky nature buff. The US Forest Service, backtracking from where the bear had originated, found the hiker's 38-caliber pistol emptied. Not far from the pistol was the remains of the hiker.

The other body has not been found. Although the hiker fired six shots and managed to hit the grizzly with four Shots (they ultimately found four 38 caliber slugs along with twelve 7mm slugs inside the bear's dead body).

To give you some additional perspective, consider that: If you are an average size man; 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! This Particular bear,standing on its hind legs, could walk up to an average single story house and look over the roof, or walk up to a two story house and look in the bedroom windows.

I have a few other pics of the bears victim, but they are too graphic to show here. Mind you, if you want to see them, just send me an email and I'll gladly send you the carnage.
