I posted a thread earlier that got polluted with idiotic innuendo. This is a clean pictorial of how quick a few Grizzlies can consume a full sized bull elk. If you think that Alaska has all the big bears, you might want to think again...

GReat pics, Shrap. Any idea as to what the population is up your way?

They do look big.
I was talking to a fellow hunter yesterday about the local grizzly population around here, he said he saw one burying a carcass about 8 years ago in a logging block. He went back in there for a look, and it had a black bear buried, he said he wasn't sure if the grizzly had killed the black bear or not.

great pictures Shrapnel!

I do not know their weight, but I would assume similar to Oprah Winfrey's weight.

673, here is on my friend killed in BC a few years ago, pretty big! I live in Alberta, way too many of them now since they banned Grizzly hunting.

Those first pictures look like big bears when comparing it to the size of the elk antlers.

Makes a 10mm in your quiver look a bit overwhelmed. Then there’s the 458win saga that is absolutely amazing.

Thanks for the pictures. I have no desire at all to run into one of those big boys.
