It was a freakin bear!!!
If anything that large came near one of my kids, I'd shoot it too.
And the two year old just walked out of the house? What was that about?

If you can see a bear, you can shoot it. Dead bears are good bears to anyone who spends any amount of time in the woods. Just shoot, shovel, and shut up about it - permit my @ss, and "in season with a tag" my a$$. Why leave a predator alive for the next person to be attacked? (Unless there's some DemonRats on the trail behind you, then you just want to wound the bear for them. hehehehe)

A bear attack in Alaska

The following pictures are of a guy who works for the Forest Service in Alaska. He was out deer hunting. A large world record Grizzly charged him from about 50 yards away. The guy unloaded a 7mm Mag Semi-auto into the bear and it dropped a few feet from him. The monster was still alive so he reloaded and capped it in the head. It was over one thousand six hundred pounds, 12'6" high at the shoulder,14' to the top of his head. It's the largest grizzly bear ever recorded in the world. Of course, the game department did not let him keep it. It will be mounted and put on display at the Anchorage airport (to remind tourist's of the risks involved when in the wild).

Think about it. You would be level with the bears belly button when he stood, he would look you in the eye when walking! This bear on its hind legs could walk up to the average single story house and look over the roof at eye level.

The bear had killed 2 other people. His last meal was the poor fellowon a nature hike. The Forest Service found his 38-caliber emptied. He shot6-times and hit the grizzly 4(they found seven 7mm slugs and four 38 caliber slugs in him) but obviously only wounded him since it was estimated to be 3 days prior to the bears death by the Forest Service man.
