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.
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).
