Big Bear

[Del]

The following 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 brown 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 brown bear ever recorded in the world. Of course, the 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).

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.

There is also a third very graphic image of a human this bear killed just previously. I'm not going to post it here but you can google to it.

yeah, it started floating around the internet again.

ms.hux's dad was telling me about it but didn't know where he had heard of it. I did a quick search and found the stuff on snopes.
