Nice bear.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Don Ordes Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2012 9:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [VFB] For VFBers who fish in bear country... Why I carry my .50 cal. S&W up at the Canada border and in some Wyoming locations. I just would't trust a .44mag to drop him. This bear is double the size of a normal Yellowstone Park grizzly. We could have a bear-skin and bear claw co-op swap! Anyone ever eat grizzly-burger? DonO UNBELIEVABLE! These two gents were calling elk in the Saddle Hills south of Woking, Alberta when this big guy slipped in on the caller. The Shooter spotted the bear about 8 yards from the caller and dropped him with 5 shots out of his 338 Win Mag. Farmers in the area knew about the bear but weren’t able to track it after it had killed 3 horses, 5 cows, 13 sheep and a pen full of chickens on several different homesteads in the area. (Sounds like ‘Night of the Grizzly’) Fish and wildlife had bear traps set up in the area but noticed on surveillance video that whenever a he would enter a trap, his hump would hit the top of the culvert trap slowing him enough that the trap door would wack him on the head before he was all the way in the rear. Check out the scar tissue on his face- must be from a trap. Bear weighed in just under 1300 pounds and would have stood 11 ¾ feet tall on its hind legs…..
