This is really not funny but true history... worth to know anyway explanation to above pictures
just small interruption in the thread
He was out deer hunting last week when a large grizzly bear charged
him from about 50 yards away.

The guy emptied his7mm Magnum semi-automatic rifle into the bear
and it dropped a few feet from him.

The big bear was still alive so he reloaded and shot it several times
in the head.

The bear was just 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 Alaska Fish and
Wildlife Commission did not let
him keep it as a trophy, but the
bear will be stuffed and mounted,
and placed on display at the Anchorage airport to remind
tourists of the risks involved when
in the wild..

Based on the contents of the bear's stomach, the Fish and Wildlife Commission established the bear
had killed at least two humans in
the past 72 hours including a
missing hiker.

The US Forest Service, backtracking from where the bear had originated, found the hiker's 38-caliber pistol emptied. Not far from the pistol was the remains of the hiker. The other body has not been found.

Although the hiker fired six shots
and managed to hit the grizzly with four shots (the Service ultimately found four 38 caliber slugs along
with twelve 7mm slugs inside the bear's dead body), it only wounded the bear and probably angered it immensely.

The bear killed the hiker an
estimated two days prior to the
bear's own death by the gun of
the Forest Service worker.

Think about this:

If you are an average size man;
you would be level with the bear's navel 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 particular bear, standing on its hind legs, could
walk up to an average single story house and look over the roof, or
walk up to a two story house and
look in the bedroom windows.
