This story was just e-mailed to me. Not sure when it happened.

{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 grizzly bear charged him from about 50 yards away. The guy emptied his 7mm Magnum 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. 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).

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 including a missing hiker. The US Forest Service, backtracking from where the bear had originated, found the hiker's 38-caliber pistol emptied. Not far from the pistol were 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 ultimately found four 38 caliber slugs along with twelve 7mm slugs inside the bear's dead body), it only wounded the bear and probably angered it (we are talking real pissed off here). 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 beard'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.}

Again!!!



It's a fabrication of sorts.



Check Urban Legends for the story/ies.

Yup,this ones been floating around for a couple of years now.

This bear should have been killed by a wooden stake through the heart, regular bullets don't kill it, must be some sort of vampire bear.

Kurt: The pictures are true, but the story is not. This bear was killed by the guy holding the bear's paw and his hunting partner. He is an Airman from Eielson AFB (near North Pole), Alaska. I believe the two hunters were not bear hunting, but one of them had a grizzly tag. The saw the bear from a distance, and watched it turn their way. The bear was not aware the hunters were on his path. The bear disappeared in the brush by the trail, then it just reappeared a few yards away in front of them. One of the hunters shot the bear on the head with a .338WM and 250-grain bullet. The bear raised its head, then dropped. While the bear was down, both hunters fired a few shots through the bear's lungs/heart, and that was the end of the story.
