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.

Estimated weight on them? Hard to really say, but I would bet that big one is over 600#

Estimated weight on them? 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.

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

If you think that Alaska has all the big bears, you might want to think again... Alaska has the biggest bears - end of discussion. Nice try though
