Here are before and after pictures that show the power of a grizzly and how little anything, including a tree, will slow him down. Notice the trees in the foreground when the elk was first buried and how they aren't there anymore...

Some Alaskans do have a difficulty seeing the difference between big and biggest...

I'm sure you know that they will.

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

KillerBee, what did a bear ever do to you to get compared to Oprah? No wonder there is bear/human conflict....sheesh, hold into the salad....grin

Maybe 175 on the big one. Everyone always overestimates bear weight

I bet you all in that country are careful. It probably wouldn’t be good to walk up on one, startle him or her. Do you walk out at night to a hunting spot?? What about a kill after dark?? The only thing down here that concerns is walking up on a big feral pig sow with babies. I put an arrow in a piglet once, bitch went crazy. I wear a sidearm just for that, probably couldn’t hit cshit, but maybe the noise will scare them..

I do wear a revolver and bear spray, but when you look at the size of that bear, you lose confidence in the gun and never had any confidence in the bear spray..

No kidding.

The walking sticks with bells attached that REI sells to the granola/yogurt/Subaru/armpit hair crowd kinda cracks me up.

What you need is a good pair of Nikes, and a hiking companion with flip flops.

Great pics.

Nice bear pictures. It's always a jolt to me when I see them.
I've seen them in the Yaak and the Swan Valley.

Awesome pictures of some big bears….even for Montana.jk. 👍

They are awe inspiring when encountered in their natural habitat and just about anything you carry for a firearm seems small. I do love having the wild places that they inhabit and without those top tiered predators those places wouldn’t be wild.

Great thread Shrap. 👍
