you and your friends vs. a grizzly

The largest grizzly ever was 12'6" at the shoulders when it stood and weighed in at 1600 lbs. The hunter who took the bear down emptied 12 rounds from his semi-automatic rifle into the bear before it dropped. Later, the contents of the bear's stomach revealed that it had eaten at least 2 humans within the past 72 hours. They discovered one of the dead hunters had hit the bear at least 4 times with a .38 caliber pistol. Apparently these 4 gunshots did little to slow the bear down and the bear proceeded to chow down.

Obviously, this was not your average bear. But Jesus. Eight humans without weapons do not stand a chance. Not even close.

I read that grizzlies run faster than humans.

Bear vs. Hippo???

I say hippo.

Grizzly versus sponge bob?

i am native american and live in seattle. hunting and fishing is part of my culture. i have been going to alaska for almost 20 years to hunt bears and caribou as well as fish the northwest passage area...i have been all over alaska guided and unguided and have camped in some very thick bear country...i have never even heard of a 12'6" bear, but you literally would shit your pants if one saw that...i glassed one in a meadow at 400 meters and i estimated it to be around 1000pounds and it was ENORMOUS. i cant imagine one almost twice the weight...it doesn't seem possible. just seeing an angry grizz stand up at 9 feet is disconcerting enough....i shot a bear in 2002 that had 2 slugs from what appeared to be a 9mm as well as 2 slugs from what appeared to be a .308. i still have them. apparently, a bear had mauled a hiker in the late 90's and the bear had not been seen since. the hiker reportedly had a 9mm with him which matched what we found. 2 young hikers had also been reported missing in the area in the early 90's and bodies were never found. there is a monument to them in the smnall norwegian town where we usually fly out of to the backcountry. it is remote backcountry and not a place for tenderfoots or unexperienced. it is most certainly not a place to "play" with bears as seen in that ridiculous movie, "grizzlyman". i think a grizz is best summed up by the following post from earlier which really had me laughing:

"An NFL football team wouldn't want to tangle with a completely pissed off grizzly bear. Nor would a room full of cheetahs"

hmmmm...that would be a good fight. If I were a betting man I'd put some money on the hippo. My guess would be that the bear would have a hard time breaking the skin of a hippo. Make it a polar bear and the fight might be closer, but I'd still go with the hippo.

I was hiking with a friend once and we encountered an angry grizzly. I opened my backpack and took out my running shoes and started to put them on. My friend said; "What are you doing? You can't outrun a grizzly!" I replied; "I don't have to. I just have to outrun YOU!."

luckily for me, my 8 best friends are grizzlies.

is that you rexing?! where have you been?

I heard the hippo can split a Croc in half with one bit. Plus they weight a ton.

You heard it wrong. The person said "Rexing is so hip, he can split a croc in half because he hits like a ton of bricks."

What about a hippo and a Boa snake???

Actually my eight enviromentalist friends and myself all drive Volvo's we would run over the bear repeatedly while the fumes would eventually would cause the ber to pass out at which time we would open the trunks of the volvos which can carry large amounts of cheetahs who would kill the bear then Cartman would hack the bear to pieces and feed it to Scott tenorman in a bowl of Chili which he would eat while watching the best PRE movie ever

My apologies... I just checked the photo I took...

It was a Kodiac Bear... whatever that is. And yes, 1900 lbs.

If you'd like to post your email address, I'll send you the photo of the bear and sign. Otherwise, shut the f*** up know it all.

AND.... it's only the 101st of 263 "bears of world records".

God, I hate piss ant know it alls.

Feel free to post an apology...

Bill Bratzky was a bear of a man, 7'8, 500 pounds.

He beat a grizz and a then hiked north and beat a polar bear.
