Huge Bear Shot by Hunters
Dale Walker sent this to me. It will make one hell of a rug.
Big Bear shot Saddle Hills Alberta, Sept 20/2010
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 whenever he would enter his hump would hit the top of the culvert trap slowing him enough that the trap door would whack him on the head before he was all the way in the reap. 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.

Re: Huge Bear Shot by Hunters
If they were out 'calling elk' then they were out there to shoot whatever got in their way.
Personally I would rather have two less idiots and a live BIG bear - not to mention the Elk that might still be running around.
My only problem with guns is the idiots that use them.

Re: Huge Bear Shot by Hunters
I've got no problem with people hunting things like deer, roo's & ferals. but not rare, amazing or unique animals, like this big bear.
BUT, If my mate was going to be killed by a rare, amazing or unique animal. I'd shoot it!
