Default Big Bear!!!

From another odd email I received :

"One of my cronies in Connecticut sent this to me. check out the
size of the paw in relation to the guy's head!!!

Hey Zane check this out. This bear was killed by an airman
here
on base down on Hitchenbrook Island were I went deer hunting last year.
This is what I would like to get. Look at this one -- 12'6" and estimated
over 1600lbs. He was walking to his hunting area and the big boy stood up
only 35 yards away. He was shocked, the bear dropped down and
went straight for him. He unloaded his gun and it fell 10 yards from him."

i didn't realize they got that big. i would get it stuffed. i bet you could get good money for selling it since that is not a typical sized bear. i am yet to see any in the wild here in new york, but they are around.

It was 12'6 to its shoulders and 14' to the top of its head. They said it had eaten a human before....but that could be a tall tale.
