of help.
This is the supposed story about how it died...
"The attached pictures are of a guy who works for the forest service in
Alaska.
He was out deer hunting. A large...large world record Griz 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 thing 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 standing up.
It's a world record. The bear had killed a couple of other people, not
including the one in the picture whose remains were found not far from
where the bear was killed, in what is believed to be the bears den.
Of course, the game department did not let him keep it. Think about it.
This thing on it's hind legs could walk up to the average single story
house and could look on the roof at eye level."

Gruesome indeed. You should send that one in to rotten.com, if they haven't
posted it already.

Mostly they are reclusive, but grizzlies have been known to attack people,
when hungry, encroached upon or threatened. It makes the news occasionally
around here (United States Pacific Northwest).

Well they obviously are known to attack people :)

Good stuff.
I think this pretty adequatly sums it up:

That story is pretty close to the truth. There were no bodies found
near the bear so someone has just made up that part. No one seems to
know where that gruesome photo came from. The actual gun used was a
338-caliber Winchester Magnum. One shot to the brain and 5 more to the
vitals. Scary thing is that it isn't a world record, not even the
largest in Alaska where it was killed!

That was a grizzly, and while reclusive generally, are fiercely
territorial. They aren't exactly a predator, but are omniverous, large,
strong, and the Grizz is generally pissed off most of the time. The
Grizzly bear is second in size to the Polar bear. Normally.

I wouldn't mind seeing a bear posing with his Ted Nugent trophy. His guitar
playing alone drives animals to the brink.

I'm sure this was brought up before. I know I seen the pics.
Urban Legends confirms the bear but details are off.

Yeah, I think a bear story has been brought up before too. But not this
one. I may be wrong.

that bear, would be if it was like that tiger in the Chinese zoo: A

I think any of those bears is a safer bet for survival
than....Carcharodon carcharias. Especially in its own habitat.
Although they don't normally eat humans (neither do the bears) they've
attacked some (so have bears).
Either way, dead is dead. But JAWS feels to be an uglier way to die?

Which means that I would rather brave the woods knowing bear is around
than I would the ocean knowing there are GW's or Bull sharks near. See
The deep Blue Sea. Contributes to the mindless terror!

Then never, ever go to the beach!
We spent last weekend in Panama City, FL. Sunday morning I took my little
girl to the beach and I kept a watch with Polarized glasses while she played
in the water. When I saw a four to five foot shark swimming past (didn't get
a real good look at it- probably a blacktip or sandbar shark). I told her to
get out of the water. It cruised on by and after it left we kept playing.
They're there, people just don't see them and they hardly ever bother
anyone. It's best not to swim very early or very late, because this is when
they cruise the beaches looking for food. Remember Chrissie? :-)
A couple of years ago my wife and I were standing on the state park pier in
Gulf Shores, AL watching a 10+ foot hammerhead swim around the pilings while
hundreds of people swam less than a hundred yards away. They never knew, and
the shark never bothered them.

Yeah, I do know about sharks. I have a healthy respect for them, and
also a healthy fear which I think perfectly acceptable since I'd be
entering the animals natural habitat and physical attributes place me
well within the food chain.
As it's said, most shark attacks aren't really attacks, but
investigative bites. We usually have difficulty withstanding a sharks
means of investigating :) I spent two years on a ship, 18 months of
that was at sea. I learned a lot about the ocean and its denizens then.
Probably more than I know about bears to tell the truth!
I know also the Bull shark is far more dangerous to humanity than the
Great White is.

That attitude is not only acceptable, but well-balanced and prudent IMHO.

I've never seen a wild bear but I've seen a lot of sharks!

Absolutely. They are very numerous, freshwater tolerant, and frequent
shallow water favored by bathers. Bull sharks worry me. I doubt I'll *ever*
see a Great White.

Well there is a certain flattery in the fact if you know you must be
chased, killed and eaten then it's because something thinks you tasty
enough to eat ;p
McGrandpa
I've seen a few. All from the safety of the deck of a CG cutter :)
But those glimpses are as close as I ever want to come to those animals.
Bull sharks, different story. I've seen a few of those too. Landed
one on the beach while I was fishing, was about 4' long. Back then we
called them shovel nose. Don't ever think they don't get big. I saw
one brought in at Texas City Dike that was 15' long. Mouth was over 2'
wide. If one doesn't think that impressive, then watch as it snaps its
jaws at you....and I thought it was dead already...hell it was laying on
the ground.

Well I'm thinking if he's not so hungry he might kill you then stash you
to have later with crisps (chips) and salsa :)
