I just heard that someone may have killed a 12' 1400 lb grizzly in Alaska. Anyone know if this is true or not, or where there is some info on this. Thanks

Walk softly and carry a big gun...or just make accurate shots.

I've heard there is a new possible record pending, but haven't heard much about it yet. There's been the story floating around of the bear that charged the guy, he shot it from 10 yards, blah blah... that thread is on the first or second page here started by the guy that was on the hunt. Not sure if that is the bear you are talking about however, but the real story for that bear is here. It was a 10 footer, roughtly 1200 pounds.

I'm still waiting to hear more on the new pending world record however.

I have not heard of that if which you speak. But I dont read the one sided liberal anti everything newspaper that is so widely distributed in our state. But should'nt the bears be hibernating right now? LaMar G.

Was it killed with buckshot?

"The bear measured 12' 6" and was estimated at over 1600lbs.
The guy was walking to his hunting area and the bear stood up
only 35 yards away. The bear dropped down and went straight
for him. He emptied his gun and the bear fell 10 yards from him."

PAhunter86 the old record was like 1490#. This quote was taken right from the site.

thats old news and miss informed. Wrong bear.

Its the same one that they are talking about Lilhunter. Did you read al the way through the forum.

well considering one of the guys that posts on this site is the one who took the picture....uh ya lol.

There is talk of a new Wr bear, that is not it.

Big bear, no doubt about it, the new wr, nope.

are you talking about the Malzac bear?

it was disqualified by b&C

wasnt that bear shot in 98 or 99, and if I remember right it was a grizzly not a brownie.
