Got this in an email, looking around now to see if this is accurate.... But heres the story:


The following pictures are of a guy who works for the Forest Service in Alaska. He was out deer hunting. A large world record Grizzly charged him from about 50 yards away. The guy unloaded a 7mm Mag csemi-auto into the bear and it dropped a few feet from him. The monster was still alive so he reloaded and capped it in the head.

The bear had killed 2 other people. His last meal was the poor fellow on a nature hike. The Forest Service found his 38-caliber emptied. He shot 6-times and hit the grizzly 4(they found seven 7mm slugs and four 38 caliber slugs in him) but obviously only wounded him since it was estimated to be 3 days prior to the bear's death by the Forest Service man.

It was over one thousand six hundred pounds, 12'6" high at the shoulder to the top of his head. It's the largest grizzly bear ever recorded in the world. Of course, the game department did not let him keep it.

It will be mounted and put on display at the Anchorage airport (to remind tourist's of the risks involved when in the wild).
