of a man who works for the US Forest Service
in Alaska and his trophy bear (killed in self
defense).
[attachment 21743 Paw.jpg]
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 grizzly bear ever recorded in the
world.
Of course, the Alaska Fish and Wildlife
Commission d! id not l et 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.
