>> >The bear was just over one thousand six hundred pounds. It stood 12' 6"

>> >Commission did not let 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).
Based on the contents of the bears stomach, the Fish and Wildlife
>> >Commission established the bear had killed at least two humans in the
>>past 72 hours. His last meal was the unlucky nature buff in the third

>> >The US Forest Service, backtracking from where the bear had
>> >originated, found the hiker's 38-calibre pistol emptied. Not far from the pistol
>> >was the remains of the hiker. The other body has not been found. Although
>> >the hiker fired six shots and managed to hit the grizzly with four shots
>>(they ultimately found four 38 calibre slugs along with twelve 7mm slugs
>> >inside the bear's dead body), it only wounded the bear and probably angered it.
>> >
>> >The bear killed the hiker an estimated two days prior to the bear's own
>> >death by the gun of the Forest Service worker. Think about this - If
>> >you are an average size man; You would be level with the bear's belly
>> >button >when he stood upright, the bear would look you in the eye when it walked
>>on all fours!
>> >
>> >To give additional perspective, consider that this particular bear,
>> >standing on its hind legs, could walk up to an average single story
>>house and look over the roof, or walk up to a two story house and look in the
>> >bedroom windows.
