> > The following (first two) pictures are of a guy who works for the

> > He was out deer hunting last week when a large grizzly bear

> > 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

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

> > Based on the contents of the bear's stomach, the Fish and Wildlife
> > Commission established the bear had killed at least two humans in

> > Not far from the pistol were the remains of the hiker. The other body

caliber

> > it only wounded the bear and probably angered it.
> > The bear killed the hiker an estimated two days prior to the
> > bear's own death by the gun of the Forest Service worker.

> > To give additional perspective, consider that this particular bear,

house

the
