Funny how the internet promotes such BS. My dad was showing me an email he got jsut the other day about a grizzly that got hit and killed by a Harley. As soon as I saw the pictures I knew instantly it was a lie even though the pics were real. Originally the bear had been hit by a semi in montana and the original pictures had circulated sometime this past year.

Post by: Gobble Gobble on February 04, 2010, 01:10:55 PM: I was informed it was 300+ lbs as well and it came from a no BS hunter who I'm guessing was fed BS themself.

Either way that is one BIG cat :yike:

Post by: GoldTip on February 05, 2010, 10:44:15 AM: I had a patient the other day bring in this same picture and shows it to me. Say's he was sent the pic by his cousin who was a friend of the guy who killed it. Look at this monster he says, weighed in at 317lbs. I just smiled and said WOW, big cat. :rolleyes: I saw it like a month ago or so on here and recognized it as the 130-140lb Cat the guy who killed it said it was.
