dont get excited the story u heard is fake .i read the story in big game adventures a year or so ago the guys that actually shot the bear where deer huntin and one ofthem wanted a bear . they just happen to come across one walkin in the creek and they let him within 10 yds before takin a shot .he wasnt no killer bear , it aint no world record it only weighed about 1000 or so lbs amd went about 10 ft .they took it with a 338 . just look up the magazine they always have back issues .
