Good lord. My buddy shot a 10'8" last fall and I thought that was huge......do they get much bigger then 11'?
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

Good lord. My buddy shot a 10'8" last fall and I thought that was huge......do they get much bigger then 11'? Yes......hundred years ago. There was an 11'-3" taken on Karluk Lake in spring of 81' We watched him the fall of 1980 he came up out of Ulga Bay and crossed the outlet of O'Malley Lake and straight up and over to Karluk Valley, and he was pushing four feet of snow. We thought he would roll back down the mountain. AAA Guides and Outfitters has a small pocket of private/corporate land they pay a lot of money to guide a very few hunters on. Lots of huge bears there, but not open to public hunting. It will therefore continue to produce super high quality bears for decades.
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

That's a huge bear, I wonder what he weighed In the spring he'd be down several hundred pounds from his fall/hibernation weight. As a guess, a boar that size could weigh 1500-1700 pounds in his prime just before denning up. So maybe 1100# in the photo? In any event, that's a LOT of bear.

Bear was shot 11 years ago, I thought it was more recent than that. Still doesn't take away the fact that this is one beast of a bear.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.
