Warning one of the pictures is kind of grizzly (no pun intended)
The following (first 2) 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 last picture is of the person that was hiking and later found after
*the bear was finished with him.
*
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
*1600 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 bear's stomach, the Fish and Wildlife
*Commission established the bear had killed at least 2 humans in the past
*72 hours. His last meal was the 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 6 shots and managed to hit the grizzly with 4 shots (they
*ultimately found 4 of the 38-caliber slugs along with 12 of the 7mm
*slugs inside the bear's dead body) it only wounded the bear and probably
*angered it.
*
The bear killed the hiker an estimated 2 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 2-story house and look in the bedroom windows.
