Default enormous grizzly bear pic

was talkin to our lass and she didnt believe me about the size of grizzlys so i went and found some pics etc, it was shot by a forest worker in america, he unloaded a full mag of 7mm into it, then reloaded as it was still alive and shot it in the head, this one had killed several people , weighed 1600pounds and measured 12 feet 6 inches at the SHOULDER not the head but the SHOULDER, i thought you would be as amazed as i was at the size of this fucka

2) a jar of vasaline!

3) a big pot of hunny and hope its name is winnie!

Are you all there? A 1600 pound bear is stomping about the wilderness eating people and sounds like it has the capability to keep up with most cars in a built up area and you want to keep it and loe it and cuddle it and never let it go?


Are you mad? Kill the fooker!? I'm sure if it had of been you with a 7mm gun and rupert the bear was grinning at you, you'd of just walked past him right?

if thats the case then of course he did what he had to do,but from the first post it just looked like the yank was out shootin,oh and whats this pish about the animal not being afraid of humans anymore look at the size of that bear,its frightened of no one, as far as im concerned if youre in a wild animals habitat then its tough shit if you get attacked or killed

that's an awesome animal, such a shame to see it dead, imo we all share this world, and hunting such a magnificent beast is just not on.Live and let live I say.

like i said they dont kill people for the heck of it if a stranger was walking in you house lets say for instance you would attack them also!!!!!!

most likely protecting its young no need to kill the bear just put it to sleep and move it away!

Not wanting to piss on anyones parade

The Giant Grizzly Bear


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."
