Bear dispatched after attack WARNING GROSS PICTURES

[Jim Malone]

I was send these pictures from a friend. It shows the sad reality of the dangers of Brown bears. The included picture of the victim is gross, if offending i will remove the pictures.
Although gross these pictures can be a reminder that the bear is still a very dangerous wild animal and shotplacement IS very important.

I was sent that email, about a year ago also. It was a hoax, and the bear didn't kill anybody. Here is the real story

http://www.blackbearheaven.com/world-record-grizzly-bear.htm

Fiction[*]Ted is a Forest Service Ranger[*]The bear stood on his hind legs and then charged[*]Several people were killed by the bear[*]The firearm of choice was a .7mm, .9mm, or .500 Nitro[*]The bear weighed in at a whopping 1600 lbs and stood 12.5'[*]Alaska Department of Fish and Game seized the trophy because it was killed in Defense of Life or Property[*]The bear is a new world record


Fact [*]Ted is a member of the United States Air Force[*]All shots were from ten yards[*]Ted used a Remington .338 Win-Mag hand-loaded with 250 grain Nosler Partitions[*]Live weight was estimated between 1000-1200 lbs and squared 10.5' (10' nose to tail, 11' claw to claw)[*]The season for brown bear was open, and both hunters possessed brown bear tags[*]The bear was estimated to be in his early to mid twenties[*]Official Boone & Crockett score is 28 14/16 and would rank 150 based on the 11th Edition of N.A. Big Game records

Aye, heard both stories and looked into it, the latter is true. A beautiful bear none the less.

Geesh what a hoax! I saw that bear photo about 3 years ago with the factual account of the Air Force member who shot it. It amazes me how someone took that picture and twisted up a lie about it.

If I can get the photo to post, here is a pic of my brother-in-law Miah"™s 10"™ brown he took off the Alaska peninsula 3 years ago. Miah and his father were about 3 or 4 miles from their camp when they glassed the brute about 500 yards out. They didn"™t want to have to cross the marshy ground separating them from the bear for a shot, so they decided to see if the bear may come to them. They started jumping up and down waiving their arms yelling "œHey Bear!"� Soon the bear noticed them and started heading at them at a charge. Miah"™s dad kept saying "œwait for it, wait for it"� as the bear drew nearer and nearer. At 100 yards Miah"™s nerves got the best of him, and he shot (he was using a 300 Win Mag with Safari loads). The shot only stopped the bear"™s charge, and Miah shot a second time. This one turned the bear and it started lumbering off. Miah shot 2 more rounds into the brute, and it collapsed. When he drew near, he put one more into it for good measure. After inspection, all 5 shots were placed in potentially vital kill areas, but still took all to drop this monster.

Miah lives in Alaska, and does a lot of grizzly hunting. This bear is his largest so far.

The funny thing is the REAL story was posted by the hunter who took the bear on this forum a few years ago. I know...I read it. It's a nice bear and the guy was happy to have harvested it while hunting.

You know RBH, I think it was here I seen the photos too. Funny how it came back around on here with the false story. I wonder what will happen to my bro-in-law's photo now

R&B and Trout, I remeber that also, it was around the time ArticBowMan had a problem losing his bear he shot with his bow I believe. I have seen it on this site a number of times and it has been emailed to me a dozen or so times. Some of the stories even included a half eaten man that the story claimed this bear killed and ate. it is funny how the stories change.

My cousin's girlfriend's father-in-law's brother shot this bear in Wyoming as it was 10 feet from him. It was 15 feet long and weight 2500 lbs. j/k of course.
