Big Grizz Supposedly shot in ab in 2010
Heres the story I read,,
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 after it had killed 3 horses, 5 cows, 13 sheep and apen full of chickens on several different homesteads in the area. Fish and wildlife had bear traps set up in the area but noticed on surveillance video that whenever he would center 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. Bear weighed in just under 1300 pounds and would have stood 11 ¾ feet tall on its hind legs.
Anyways this seems to be a good place to find out some more infor on this bear ect,

The true story was in a hunting magazine 5 years or so ago. I think it was a Alaskan bear.

Yep, it was an Alaskan bear. There seem to be several stories floating around based on the photos but the real one was up in Alaska.

Alaskan bear. The story varies with each rendition, but the (same) photos surface a couple of times a year.
