FlagUp Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Sorry if this has been posted before. Here's an email I recieved a few weeks ago. "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 Win 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 noticed on surveillance video that whenever a he would enter a trap, his hump would hit the top of the culvert trap slowing him enough that the trap door would wack him on the head before he was all the way in the rear. 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….." and this was a video someone took while hunting deer from a high seat http://www.wimp.com/curiousbear/ At least we don't have to worry about these beasties when out and about in the UK!!

BaconBoy Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 i'm sure that if a bear was 3'/4' below me climbing my ladder i'd be shouting a little bit more and i definately wouldn't be asking him 'hey what you doing there' and i'd probably be filling my pants as well :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
