has heard about the grizzly taken by a hunter after it killed 2 people and tried to kill him, I was on a job site today and a guy showed me a pic of a grizzly that stood 14 ft to the top of his head, and was killed after a guy unloaded his 7mm on himafter the bear tried to attack him. one of the people missing hasnt been found and the other was a hiker that had shot this bear with a 38 pistol. all they found of him was his remains and the pistol. in the pic the bear is covered in blood. if anyone has any idea about this please post id like to get a copy of it. it happened in alaska.

Yea those pics have been going around for a couple of years. I had several graphic and disgusting pics (of the victim, poor guy), but I erased them a while ago. I'm sure someone will still have them.

superhawk i believe it happened again. they found remains of 2 people in the bears stomach.

SuperRedhawk is right, it is kinda old.

It's a false story. The guy did shoot it hunting but it wasn't a world record or a maneater.


This email tale, circulating constantly in one form or another since November 2001, seems to grow taller year by year. Ironically, the first two snapshots — the ones showing a hunter posing beside the carcass of an incredibly large Alaskan brown bear — are authentic. We know where and when they were taken, and by whom. The origin of the third photo purporting to show the remains of the behemoth's final victim is unknown. It was appended to the already-circulating email in late 2002.
Not quite a world record
In real life, the big grizzly in the first two photographs measured 10' 6" from nose to tail and weighed an estimated 1,000 to 1,200 pounds — unusually large for the vicinity in which it was found, says the USDA Forest Service, but not quite a world record, nor even a record for Alaska. It was killed on October 14, 2001 by U.S. Air Force Airman Theodore Winnen on Hinchinbrook Island, Prince William Sound. The photos were taken by his hunting partner, Staff Sgt. James Urban. Both were stationed at Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks at the time.
Though the bear was within 10 yards of the hunters' position and moving towards them when he fired the first shot, Winnen says, it did not charge them, contrary to what the email claims. "I don't know if the wind was in our favor or what," he told the Anchorage Daily News. "We were dressed in camouflage. He might not have seen us." Winnen's weapon was a 338-caliber Winchester Magnum, not a 7mm semi-automatic as alleged. The first bullet pierced the bear's brain but left it standing; five more in the chest brought it down.
No man-eater
Was the bear a man-eater, as claimed in the email? No, says the Forest Service, there is no evidence of that. When asked by the Anchorage Daily News to comment on the horrific final image of what appears to be a partially-eaten human victim, Forest Service spokesman Ray Massey admitted he hadn't even looked at it. "I didn't want to see a photo of the body," he said. "I know it's bogus."

Shadowace, that is exactly what I undertand as well.
