Not sure if this story is totally kosher. The last pic of the dead guy I've seen before but it wasnt associated with any bear attacks so it could just be a blag. Having said that this is a fuckin enormous bear.

Subject: A VERY BIG BEAR

The following pictures are of a guy who works for the Forest
Service in Alaska. He was out deer hunting. A large grizzly bear
charged him from about 50 yards away. The guy unloaded his 7mm Mag Semi-automatic rifle into the bear and it dropped a few feet from him. The big bear was still alive so he reloaded and capped it in the head. The bear was over one thousand six hundred pounds. It stood 12' 6" high at the shoulder, 14' to the top of his head. It's the largest grizzly bear ever recorded in the world. Of course, the game department did not let him keep it. It
will be mounted and put on display at the Anchorage airport (to remind tourist's of the risks involved when in the wild).

Think about this - 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 bear, standing on its hind legs, could walk up to an average single story house and look over the roof. The bear had killed at least two people. His last meal was the unlucky nature buff in the third picture below. The Forest
Service found the hiker's 38-caliber pistol emptied. Although the
hiker fired six shots and managed to hit the grizzly with four shots (they ultimately found four 38 caliber slugs along with seven 7mm slugs inside the bear's dead body) it only wounded the bear - and probably angered it. The bear killed the hiker an estimated three days prior to the bear's own death by the gun of the Forest Service worker.

I know. I thought you would notice that shirt and say that. The fabric on that chair is hideous, too.
