The downloaded pictures are of a man who works for the US Forest
Service in Alaska and a Grizzly 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 Bear
ever recorded any where 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 tourists 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
was 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 (the Service 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 immensely.
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 bear's
navel 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 !
