Going through some photos I've saved. I forget how much this bear weighed and what it took to bring it down.

 

Here's the story about the Bear.

The bear facts

Statistics for Theodore Winnen's brown bear taken on Hinchinbrook Island in October 2001:

• 1,000-1,200 lbs. -- Estimated weight

• 15-20 years -- Estimated age

• 10' 6'' -- Hide measurement from nose to tail

• 10 11/16'' -- Skull width

• 17 13/16'' -- Skull length

• 28 8/16'' -- Skull score (length and width combined)

• 30 12/16'' -- North American record brown bear skull score

• 19 -- The number of bear skulls with a score above 30'' in Alaska since 1904

 

Seems to me when I got the email, I got the enhanced version of 12'-6" and 1600 lbs. : And a brown bear to boot. Thanks for the link to the real story.

 

It's still a lot more bear than I'd care to see in the woods. <br>That a big Mama-Jamma!
