Saddle Hills Alberta Big Grizzly Bear
Big Grizzly Bear shot Saddle Hills, Alberta, Canada, Sept 20,2010
Saddle Hills Bear
These two gents were calling elk in the Saddle Hills south of Woking when this big guy slipped in on the caller. The shooter spotted the grizzly bear 8 yards from the caller and dropped him with 5 shots out of his 338 Rem Mag. Farmers in the area knew about the grizzly bear but weren’t able to track it after it had killed 3 horses, 5 cows, 13 sheep and a pen full of chickens on several different homesteads in the area.
Fish and wildlife had bear traps set up in the area but noticed on surveillance video that whenever he would enter the trap his hump would hit the top slowing him enough that the trap door would wack him on the head before he was all the way in.
Check out the scar tissue on his face…..
Saddle Hills Bear Grizzly
The bear weighed in just under 1300 pounds and would have stood 11 ¾ feet tall on its hind legs…..

It looks bigger than some Coastal brown bears because it IS a coastal brown bear. This has been all over the internet and has been killed in places from Montana to Alaska. Was truly killed in Alaska and is considered a Coastal Brownie.:yeah:

Also says it was 9 ft 9 in.
Still a huge bear, but there are a few 10 footers in that photo gallery
