God you guys are hilarious. Ran out of coffee, but this is keeping me in a good mood. This guy has to haul this bear out (he's in Alaska, so it's not woods, but probably a forest). I'll be gererous and say that he has 200-300 pounds of intestines, lungs, etc (Antisocial-Virge (Sean) will probably have a better estimate). When he gets it processed, he'll have a few hundred pounds of meat. This guy will probably share it with the guy taking the picture (unless the deer he was supposed to hunt is taking the picture), so two or more families will have some meat on the table. I hear bear is greasey and gamey tasting, so I would pass it along to other families. As far as the bear's head, it would look great on the wall. My friend's father went bear hunting and stopped for lunch. At the cafe, the local farmers were complaining about a bear eating their cows. My friends Dad joked he'll bring it back before happy hour. Sure enough, same set of circumstances. He walked up on the bear and it charged (not a common occurance I hear). He shot it and the funny thing is is that you always hear about "When a bear is charging you, you should run downhill (or is it uphill)". Something about they can't run downhill because of the shorter front paws. My butt would be thinking, safety off (is my will up to date), site him in (do they make Cheerios and then punch the hole out or do they make them like little donuts), slowly pull trigger (holy crap this thing is still coming, I wonder if he's really hungry or just needs to nibble on me), pump shotgun, repeat first few steps, but faster. Anyways, he said that saying crossed his mind and the only thing he was worried about was soiling himself. He got the bear and a nice reward from the farmer's association, which he sent back with a no thanks. It cost him close to $1,000 to get made into a rug. The meat was donated to the food bank (he's part indian, so he ate a bunch).
My first thought was this guy had to drag this huge animal out of the woods.
