May be a bit off topic here but I received this email from a friend that contained the following true story followed by a few pics.

How'd ya like to stumble across this BAD BOY in the middle of the boonies ...

The attached pictures are of a guy who works for the forest service in
Alaska. He was out deer hunting. A large...large Grizzly charged him from
about 50 yards away. The guy unloaded a 7mm Mag Semi-auto into the bear and
it dropped a few feet from him. The thing was still alive so he reloaded
and capped it in the head. It was over one thousand six hundred pounds,
12'6" high at the shoulder. It's a world record. The bear had killed a
couple of other people. Of course, the game department did not let him keep
it.

Think about it. This thing on it's hind legs could walk up to the average
single story house and could look the roof at eye level. Twelve foot six
inches high at the shoulder? That's the same height as a standard 18
wheeler trailer.

Six Out!

well...my first thought is as follows:

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING!!!!!!!!!!!

but after giving it some thought, I came to this:

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING!!!!!!!!!

I would be willing to lay money on the fact that THAT dude, had to change his drawers...

So. Did he get a deer?
