Worlds Largest Bear

Savage4x4 · 12-26-2003, 02:58 PM

My nephew brought a print out of an email he recieved of the worlds largest bear to our christmas get together. If i can remember the numebers right it was 12' tall standing, and could look a grown man in the eye on all 4's. It weighed 1600+ lbs. and had previously killed two people, picture of previous victim was included, very nasty. The previous victim was a hiker and had shot the bear 4 times with a 7mm. Didnt do anything but piss it off even worse, the second guy went through 2 clips i believe with a 35mm (im not too good with guns but i think that is what it said) When the bear fell to the ground he shot it in the head. This was up in Alaska. It had a picture of the guy next to the bear and its head was about as big as his upper torso. HUGE! If i can get the pics i will, cant find'em on the net though.

Yea the bear being killed was for real but about the whole attack thing is garbage. It was just something someone started. It wasn't real. You can look it up online.
