da bear... this ain't your 'friendly" YOGI BEAR

The following was sent to me from a friend.....

 

 

:ph34r: 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 Rem

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 a pen full of

chickens on several different homesteads in the

area. Fish and wildlife had bear traps set up in

the area but notice on surveillance video that

when ever a he would enter 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 trap. 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…..

I don't know of any .338 Rem. Mag. with 5 round

capacity (my M-70 XTR is 3+1), so that 5th shot

must have been a finish shot after

reloading...That's a very impressive bear, no

matter what the circumstances were.

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees...
