This Bear Picture was emailed to me from a friend in the military

This bear was killed down on Hitchenbrook Island by an airman
stationed at Elmendorf,Alaska

The bear measured 12' 6" and was estimated at over 1600lbs.
The guy was walking to his hunting area and the bear stood up
only 35 yards away. The bear dropped down and went straight
for him. He emptied his gun and the bear fell 10 yards from him.
