I have heard a couple different stories about the bear too, but read it in the armed forces newspaper, The Stars and Stripes about a month ago. I just got the pics in color tonight. I wouldv'e killed that monster too. The Stars and Stripes interviewed the lucky hunter and he didn't say anything about the bear charging him, and also a fish and wildlife officer said the fish was more like 900 pounds, but like a good hunter/fisherman, I have to go with the 1600 pounds, sounds better when you tell others, huh?

For the queesy, or environmentalist nazis that don't like killing of wild animals, talk to the AK dept. of fish and wildlife, not me.
