Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska grizzly calf killer

A friend of mine just shot a tattoo grizzly. It was collared in 2013 for six weeks. It was in the Nelchina study. It killed 27 caribou caves, 9 moose calves and 6 unknown calves. It also 2 killed 2 adult moose and a swan. If some one can post a photo for me, I'll emailed it to you. I'll see if I can cut & paste the report from AK fish & game. I'm a Neanderthal on this computer stuff.

Bears gotta eat somethin' . . . same as buzzards and worms . . .

That is the perfect example of a bear badly in need of killing!

Lone large boars sometimes turn into calf-killing specialists and kill all out of proportion to the normal.

This bear was well known for killing muskox calves. The locals took him out IIRC.

VERY cool video!!! Had not seen it before and really appreciate the post!

Is this the one?

Interesting, but absolutely horrid video.

Tiny bear to be a calving specialist, but is probably quite old. Tremendous trophy to have the tattoo and history, screw the cranial count and squares.

Powderburner can you post the letter & chart?

He squared 8'3", skull was 23" and change. Approx 10 years old. This is all posted in another forum. I'll see if I can get the other info moved.
Not sure why "tiny" bears can't be calf killing specialists? That guide must feel like a jackwagon
For shooting such a small bear only to be saved by the uniqueness of a tattooed bear! Ha

I think this is the chart?


Ages/sex are 16f, 12f, 10m, 21f, 25f, 6m,12m for the bears on the chart.

Yes, that's the chart. The bear was 2013-0.950

He was a 6 year old when collared. Collar was on the bear for a 6 weeks.

Here's Bob's photo.

Interesting they have that much data on the bear.

Yeah, in just six weeks!
