absolutely huge grizzly bear !

Reminds me of a sign which was posted in Alaska which read:
Bear Advisory



The Forest Service has issued a BEAR WARNING in the national forests for this summer. They're urging everyone to protect themselves by wearing bells and carrying pepper spray.

Campers should be alert for signs of fresh bear activity, and they should be able to tell the difference between Black Bear dung and Grizzy Bear dung.

Black Bear dung is rather small and round. Sometimes you can see fruit seeds and/or squirrel fur in it.

Grizzly Bear dung has bells in it, and smells like pepper spray!

I can't understand wanting to shoot something like that myself - unless it wanted to eat me!
Beautiful animal. Waste of life if it can't be eaten. Do they need to be culled or is it just a trophy thing?
Just curious as to why people shoot animals like that.

probably the same reason as every hunter/stalker kills animals
if theres a sustainable population i dont see a problem
if its not your cup of tea then you dont have to try it
lots of people would not understand why you kill lots of bambi,s and fluffy bunnies

This photo appeared about twelve years ago and has been doing the rounds ever since....................I was told that it is a fake, a photoshop job.

yep it sure has been around for a few years

but i do not believe its photoshopped as although its a very big grizzly
ive seen bears that are as big as that with my own eyes.
just havent had a autherisation permit to hunt 1 yet
