The Real Story Behind the Infamous “Alberta Grizzly”

Back in the days of chain emails, word got around about a killer grizzly taken by a hunter in Alberta. This is what actually happened

Yes I remember when it first started hitting the email trail. I knew right away looking at the bear in the pictures that there is no way it was from Alberta and was a "Coastal" bear.

The story kept getting better as time went by and guys added some pictures of mangled portions of some cadavers anatomy. The location of the bear getting killed changed a few times as well. I had the pictures return in emails that said the bear was killed in British Columbia once and in another the Yukon.

I will never understand what makes people do stupid BS like the manufacturing of false stories, but I guess it is a sign of the times and the internet seems to bring out the worst in a lot of people.

It is a great bear.

That stupid tale, with the same photos has been going on for years.

Ripp,
Thanks for posting this story. It looks like a very impressive, mature boar and the hunting story is good.
