Below is the description I got in an email with the same bear photos and human (ugh..) remains photo...:

The last photo is very graphic and disgusting dead human - but look at the size of that bear! 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 thing was still alive so he reloaded and capped it in the head. It was over one thousand six hundred pounds, and 12'6" high at the shoulder. It's a world record. The bear had killed a couple of other people. Of course, the game department did not let him keep it. Think about it. This thing on its hind legs could walk up to the average single story house and could look on the roof at eye level. Also his last meal was human.

Ugh, thats not very much to work with when dealing with 1200 lbs of claws & teeth with a head of steam.
