GIANT ALASKAN BROWN BEAR BREAKS WORLD RECORD
Alaskan Brown Bear
Pope and Young Club
Chris Cammack sets the brown bear world record by a margin of 1/16 of an inch.
The Alaskan brown bear is one formidable adversary. Because it's so massive in size and unpredictable in behavior, those who choose to stalk this giant with a bow know the frightening risks involved.
For Chris Cammack, putting life and limb on the line this past May on the Alaskan Peninsula came with a massive reward--the new world record.
Cammack's brusier boar was officially scored on Sept. 24 and measured 29 1/4 inches, taking the title by a scant margin of 1/16 of an inch. The previous world record, a bear taken in 2004 at Lake Iliamna, Alaska, by Jack Brittingham scored 29 3/16 inches.

Big bear. I wonder who shot it in the ass? Might have been a spin shot with a backup rifle - but lots of blood down the right hind leg as well as around the tail.
Interesting.
