338 didn't cut it?
 

Big Bear shot in the Saddle Hills Alberta, Sept 20/2010

These two fellows were calling elk in Saddle Hills south of Woking AB when this big guy slipped in on the caller.
The shooter spotted the bear 8 yards from the caller and dropped him with 5 shots out of his 338 Rem Mag..
Farmers in the area new about the Bear but weren’t able to track it. The Bear 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 start to enter the 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. 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…..

That is one BIG Bear...... Thank God he was able to drop it before his buddy became the bears next meal.........

I would have fired a lot more than five (5) rounds.:o

Stay safe.

I can't believe the size of those claws, they look to be at least 3" long. :eek:

Fantastic shots on bringing that huge bastard down..........:D:D:D

Big Teddy :munchin

Looks cuddly.:boohoo

Yogi will not be happy..



:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Betting the caller needed some new shorts.. 8 yards I would say is danger close lol

Those are some big paws! Jesus, that was a huge animal.

5 rounds is the capacity of the box magazine in my .338....

If I was headed into this area,, I'd go for the belt-fed toys......

I think you need AP rounds to get into that thing's pump house...

Good Save
 

Holy S@#$ that's a big bear, methinks caller will be buying the beers for the duration...

Claws like that will cut you up into bite size nuggets.:eek:
