Default Big Bear

Anyone hear about a new world record Griz being killed in Alaska ?
Got an email from a friend with a link to a story with pictures about
a Grizzley that was shot and killed by a Wildlife officer in Al.
1600 lbs. 12' high at the shoulder, 14' high at the top of the head
standing upright.

Photoshoped propaganda or the real deal ?

Don't have the link on my laptop but can get it tomorrow night from my desktop
when I time if you want to check out the pics and story for yourself.

Don't know if it's true or not, but tell you what...
Just think about a day in the woods, hunting, walking, scouting whatever.
Suddenly a large brown barreled mass comes lunging into view then
at 15 yards stops and stands right in front of you.
14' high x 4 to 6' wide.
All you could do is look up.
Dang! that's scary right there.

Make me think going in to work tomorrow really anit so bad.
Wonder what the boss would do in that situation ?
Make a bigger pile in the ol trousers because he's the boss?
Maybe he would ?

Seriously just posted this to help break the ice from cabin fever.
I know you all got some time before spring and thought you could
use a laugh.

Probably measured by a guy that thinks that the 'average" gurkin is a solid 8 inches tho.

So.... 14 feet might be guy code for... "well actually 9 or 10...but don't tell my wife.
