I don't have any pics of the truck itself. These pictures were emailed to me and I was told the truck was damaged pretty good but not sure to what extent. They said the Grizzly weighed in at 750 lbs.

Thanks

He almost walked right in front of us onto the highway but then turned and went back or I would have probably hit him. There are some huge Animals in the Lincoln Montana area.

JUNKKING, I would say those pics are real & I would think from the looks of the bear it was probably in Canada.

If they are real that is one big black bear.

I seen a game warden on the side of the road here in PA once with a dead bear he said it was the largest West Virginia black bear he had ever seen I asked how he knew it was a West Virginia bear he said the man that hit it said it was licking its paw.
