The World Record Is BROKEN

[BTAutoMag]

My chemesty teacher has a cousin who was hunding for deer. this bear approached him and attacked. he killed the bear in self defence and earned a place in guniess. here's the text my techer sent me:

" The attached pictures are of a guy who works for the forest service in Alaska. He was out deer hunting. A large (large?)Grizzly charged him from about 50 yards away. The guy unloaded a 7mm Mag Semi-auto into the bear and it dropped a few feet from him. The thing was still alive so he reloaded and capped it in the head. It was over one thousand six hundred pounds, 12'6" high at the shoulder. It's a world record. The bear had killed a couple of other people. Of course, the game department did not let him keep it. Think about it. This thing on it's hind legs could walk up to the average single story house and look on the roof at eye level."


heres the pics

Man that thing is huge. Luckily he had something to defend himself with.

By the time e-mail stories started reaching the Daily News in late November, the bear towered 12 feet, 6 inches tall and weighed more than 1,600 pounds. Another writer said the ferocious bear had charged the unsuspecting deer hunter, who emptied his gun, but shot the bear dead in the nick of time with his last shell.

Though this was indeed a big bear, those numbers and that sequence of events aren't right.

this has been around for a while now

still an impressive creature

//edit
btw, the second photo is deceiving. since the bear's head is much closer to the camera than the hunt, it appears much larger than it truly is

that being said, i still wouldn't like to get chased down by that thing

[BTAutoMag]

I'm gonna have to ask her about that.

wow,that thing is huge...

hes lucky.

[yeahthatsme]

while its sad that such an amazing animal had to be killed, it is amazing and it was in self defence so...


anyways that bear is amazingly huge.

my *** self defense, a bear that large and old wouldnt be attacking or charging humans.

Final Warning on the cursing. Challenging or triggering it is the same as cursing. Do it again and you get three days to think about it - cphilip

a bear bigger than that once charged me but upon the site of my mag it turned and ran in fear.

my *** self defense, a bear that large and old wouldnt be attacking or charging humans.

Im glad you were there as an eye witness.

read the link fellows

the hunter's own account is that they were hunting dear in alaska, then saw the bear at a distance and proceeded to hunt/stalk it.

only a 7mm why i could take that bear down with a sling shot and some packing peanuts

[oldsoldier]

Self defense, or hunting it, those paws are big!

[FESTUS33]

By the hunter's own account he was carrying,
a .338 Win. Mag., and stalking that particular bear.
This is not a case of self defense, but a case of
good hunting skill's. Read the link guy's.
