Saddle Hills Alberta Big Grizzly Bear

Big Grizzly Bear shot Saddle Hills, Alberta, Canada, Sept 20,2010

Saddle Hills Bear

These two gents were calling elk in the Saddle Hills south of Woking when this big guy slipped in on the caller.  The shooter spotted the grizzly bear 8 yards from the caller and dropped him with 5 shots out of his 338 Rem Mag.  Farmers in the area knew about the grizzly bear but weren’t able to track it 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 noticed on surveillance video that whenever he would enter the trap his hump would hit the top slowing him enough that the trap door would wack him on the head before he was all the way in.

Check out the scar tissue on his face…..

The bear weighed in just under 1300 pounds and would have stood 11 ¾ feet tall on its hind legs…..

1. What can I say? This is an asounding mega-large bear that I have ever seen!! I have heard stories, legends, of giant bears that are linked back to cave-men days that were well know to them, they HAD to deal with them on almost a daily basis. They were called Cave Bears. They were know as being very large and dangerous and were visious predators. Many men killed by them. Please look them up, I’m sure they will amaze you too!! AWESOME!!!!

2. What is a 338 Rem mag?

6. Does it make you feel good to destroy a a beautiful animal just for sport? What cowards you are. I would be willing to bet that you’re trying to compensate for a small penis. Killing a big, mean bear make you feel all warm and fuzzy? I wish the same on you with your tiny little penis. Oh, and close your mouth. Makes you look even stupider, asshole.
