The following (first two) pictures are of a guy who works for the US
>
Forest Service in Alaska and his trophy bear. 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. 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.
>
Alaska Fish and Wildlife Commission did not let him keep it as a trophy,
>
but the bear will be stuffed and mounted, and placed on display at the
>
Anchorage airport (to remind tourist's of the risks involved when in the
>
wild). 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.
>
>
The US Forest Service, backtracking from where the bear had originated,
>
found the hiker's 38-calibre pistol emptied. Not far from the pistol was
>
the remains of the hiker. The other body has not been found.
>
The bear killed the hiker an estimated two days prior to the bear's own
>
death by the gun of the Forest Service worker. Think about this - 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!
>
To give additional perspective, consider that 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.
Mods- feel free to edit the last pic, I totaly understand the nudity policy, i just dont think the rule applies here....
