Subject: One bad Alaskan Brown Bear
The attached pictures are of a guy who works for the Forest Service in Alaska. He was out deer hunting. A large Grizzly charged him from about 50 yards away. The guy unloaded a 7mm Mag Semi-auto into the bear and it dropped a few feet from him. The monster was still alive so he reloaded and capped it in the head.
It was over one thousand six hundred pounds, 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 it. You would be level with the bears belly button when he stood, he would look you in the eye when walking! This bear on its hind legs could walk up to the average single story house and look over the roof at eye level.
The bear had killed 2 other people. His last meal was the poor fellow on a nature hike. See Picture #3 (or not if you are squeamish). Ouch. The Forest Service found his 38-caliber emptied. He shot 6-times and hit the grizzly 4 (they found seven 7mm slugs and four 38 caliber slugs in him) but obviously only wounded him since that encounter was estimated to be 3 days prior to the bear's death. The 7mm has about 10 times the energy of a .44 mag pistol and the 38 is a pop-gun compared to the .44. Fear is good.

I am trying to see things from your perspective....But I can't get my head that far up my ass!
Remember - The TOES you step on today maybe attached to the ASS you have to kiss tomorrow.
