a thousand pound plus animal with a taste for human flesh......while it is a shame that we have so invaded their territory, its a good thing it went down before it hurt anyone else.

It was busted in 2001, as being an inaccurate description.
True picture of the critter but lots of details are incorrect. Not a Forestry employee, not 12' tall, etc, etc, etc.

Hahaha, no worries mate, I got a couple years on me too and don't remember everything!

All told, huge paw. Those claws MUST be 5 inches!

Scary.

supposed u did have the biggest bear in the world in your scope....would you kill it? another scenario supposed you just brought in the biggest Rock Fish in the world...would you keep it? Is there a difference? Both are probably past their prime any ways why not be remembered on someones wall than part of the eco. chain

I think he would be better remembered as...

"Gosh remember when we went deer hunting and Johnny got eaten by the biggest bear in the world? Johnny was was the coolest!"
